📎 AI Summary:
The original poster reports that their MS Wireless Mouse 5000s fails to obey power management settings that prevent it from waking the computer from sleep, unlike their other mice. Respondents discuss varying ways to control device wake permissions, including BIOS settings and Windows Device Manager options. The overall discussion centers on troubleshooting why the mouse ignores sleep wake settings, but no definitive solution is provided within these posts.

I realize that the MS Wireless Mouse is not Windows hardware but I don't know where else to ask.

The MS wireless mouse 5000s used in both my Win 7 and Win 8.1 systems ignore their power management setting that is supposed to prevent mouse movement from waking the systems from "sleep". The Logitech M310 wireless and every wired mouse I own obeys the command. Only the 5000 ignores it. The keyboard is a wired MS 600 so the mouse is the only device on its receiver.

I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed the behavior but found the fix.

The settings I refer to are found through either the control panel/device manager >> mouse. Specifically, mouse properties >> hardware >> properties >> general >> change settings >> power management >> uncheck "allow device to wake computer". I have also considered having Win 7 turn off the mouses's USB port to save energy when it enters sleep but that USB port does not have a power management tab that would allow that.

Not exactly certain of what Power Management setting that you are referring to, because I control whether either the mouse or keyboard can turn on the system via BIOS settings, rather than Windows Power settings. It probably varies depending on the motherboard, but in mine a PS/2 mouse or keyboard is enabled/disabled in the ACPI settings, and a USB mouse or keyboard in the USB settings.
