how to disable wake from sleep for the mouse

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.

I created a systemd service by putting the following in /etc/systemd/system/disable-mouse-wakeup.service

[Unit] Description=Disable Mouse wakeup triggers [Service] Type=oneshot ExecStart=/bin/sh -c "echo XHC0 > /proc/acpi/wakeup" ExecStop=/bin/sh -c "echo XHC0 > /proc/acpi/wakeup" RemainAfterExit=yes [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target

Then I ran sudo systemctl enable --now disable-mouse-wakeup

It works perfectly on my AMD machine.
- On mine it was playing with some /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-4/power/wakeup or something, (use the right device number from lsusb), also there is some settings in the BIOS to power or not USB when sleeping, obviously if some USB port have no power, wakeup cannot work :) Every setup/BIOS is kinda different though.
  
  And I have had the same problem as OP with just knocking the desk and the computer wakes up and it is annoying!
  
  My latest trackball I switched it to Bluetooth mode so when PC is sleeping, no BT at all.
- unfortunately, that doesn't work.
  
  What system do you have? Laptop or desktop, if laptop which one, if desktop which mobo do you have? Check your bios for any sleep options, specifically S0 vs S3 standby.
  
  S0 standby vs S3 standby can change things a lot. If you're in S3 standby then it's up to your bios/firmware to handle waking from sleep. If you're in S0 standby then your OS is in control.
  
  I'll check now, thanks!
  
  There was a setting in bios for wakeup. It was turned off. I turned it on but nothing changed.
  
  Run cat /proc/acpi/wakeup and try some of the other devices instead of XHC0 if they are enabled
  
  Edit: Remember to run sudo systemctl stop disable-mouse-wakeup to reset them if it doesn't work
  
  Unfortunately, disabling the devices doesn't work.
  
  RP01 S4 *enabled pci:0000:00:1c.0 RP05 S4 *enabled pci:0000:00:1c.4 RP06 S4 *enabled pci:0000:00:1c.5 LID0 S3 *enabled platform:PNP0C0D:00 PBTN S3 *enabled platform:PNP0C0C:00
  
  I had this device earlier but I disabled it with your systemctl service earlier and although I stopped the service, it didn't come back. Probably, it's back on next reboot. XHC S0 *enabled pci:0000:00:14.0
  
  I didn't test LID0 or Powerbutton.
  
  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.
