Can't give specifics right now. I know that various multimedia keyboards
that are USB and have the power button on them from Microsoft, Logitech,
and some others will wake up motherboards I have tried it on from ASUS,
ECS, and MSI, although don't have specifics handy right now. Just have to
have legacy USB support on in the BIOS, and a real ATX system. Modern ATX
systems don't completely power off unless you pull the plug or throw the
switch on the back of some power supplies. The 5vsb voltage is there to
the PS/2 ports and some USB ports. Have seen some of the optical mice
with the lights on and the system "off".

Can you tell me which USB keyboards or USB network adapters can wake a
Windows PC when the PC is turned off or which Windows PC keeps USB power on
when they are shut off?

We're not talking about standby, we're talking about OFF. Perhaps you are
thinking of the ability to turn on a MAC through the keyboard? I don't
think the above things are possible in Windows.
