Describe the Bug
Hello,
My qmk board (split based on 2 RP2040) doesn't wake up both of my computers from sleep when pressing it's buttons or using its internal trackpoint.
This happens on both Windows 11 and Linux (latest 7.2 kernel).
I have checked the following bugs but none seemed to work:
I also verified that my QMK chibios-contrib lib has this code that's supposed to fix it:
I also tried to add a KC_WAKE key, but to no avail. KC_SLEP works though.
Both computers can be woke with other non QMK boards or mice.
Keyboard Used
Custom board, split with 2 RP2040 controllers
