How do I turn off my magic keyboard?

When cleaning my keyboard, I like to turn it off so as not to generate a bunch of unwanted commands, etc. This was easy in the past, but with my new M1 iMac, when I turn off its power switch, the keyboard is still live and connected. What's the story?

iMac 24″, macOS 12.4

I have a Magic Keyboard and the on/off switch doesn’t function. It’s not a big problem for me as I always clean the keyboard when the iMac is shutdown.

I’m still in warranty so I plan to get it replaced / repaired but even left on it holds the charge for a long time.
