Good idea, but this is not connected via USB (`lsusb` doesn't show
anything related to mouses or keyboards).  It's the mouse button of my
Thinkpad's trackpoint, which AFAICT is connected "internally".  My web
searches suggest this uses the old i8042 PS/2 controller.
But I can't see any power management in there:

    # find /sys/module/i8042/  
    /sys/module/i8042/
    /sys/module/i8042/uevent
    /sys/module/i8042/parameters
    /sys/module/i8042/parameters/unmask_kbd_data
    /sys/module/i8042/parameters/debug
    #

Any idea how I could control the power saving (or even if there is any
power saving to control) in there?
