how to disable wake from sleep for the mouse - eviltoast

It is incredibly annoying to me that my mouse wakes the computer when I barely touch it. If I want my PC to turn on, I press the Super key.

I find very hacky scripts online, I tried some but they didn’t work. How did you disable it?

This option is missing from settings.

    Those wakelock devices map to specific devices. If you run lsusb you will see the pci:0000:00:1c.4 and others.

    • Find the one that your mouse is.
    • Do the echo command into that device RP05.
    • Confirm it’s disabled.
    • suspend & then try moving the mouse
    • if it works edit the systemd script with the correct echo command
    • make sure you make the service Enabled (otherwise it won’t start on boot)
    • reboot and confirm it’s still disabled.

    That should be what is needed to disable waking up from the mouse.
