Yes, this is normal. (My optical mouse does it as well, so you're not alone!
) What usually happens is the computer doesn't completely "power off" (cut the electric supply into the Power Unit). The motherboard is still powered up whilst the rest of the components are shut down. It therefore continues to power the mouse and keyboard.
