I leave my stuff plugged in all the time. It's much easier than plug & un plug each time. Wont hurt anything doing it that way..*

USB ports are powered by the machine they are in, usually. Ones on the monitor gettheir power from that things PSU.
Usually ok to leave them in, unless they are heavy loads. like digital cams or phones charging... Those should be on a powered USB hub.

Safe to do
Just don't let them fall into your coffee
