Ah. That explains it. It's one of those rare annual settings. :)

I rarely use a laptop. I have a USB wireless mouse when I
do. Life's too short for laptop ergonomics. I'm not sure I've ever
used it enough to even care about sleep!
The PS2 thing is weird. PS2 ports were almost phased out, but
the computer I built last year -- MSI Pro B760 -- has both PS2
ports. It's all down under the desk right now and I'm not
sure of details, but at least the keyboard is either PS2 or has
a PS2 adapter. It's an old Logitech off-white that I don't want
to give up. I hate black keyboards. I can't see the letters well
enough.
At any rate, the PS2 advantage is only due to this MSI board's
peculiar configuration. If you don't have a BIOS option to
wake up from PS2 then it won't matter.
