USBs sending power when PC is off

Is there any easy way to stop my PC sending power to my peripherals even when the machine is turned off? I don't want to burn out my mouse and joystick, which are 'on' all the damn time.

There should be a bios option to turn it off

You won't burn out peripherals but it is a bit of a waste of power. All my pc and av shit are in power boards with switches so I can completely turn off what I'm not using. I went around with a power meter a while back and I was wasting some 100-150W from devices that were "off". I'm sure I had a post on here about it but I can't find it.

It's called a power point switch.
