As far as I know, devices are set to wake a system in the Device Manager. You need one with a Power Management tab. If it is a keyboard or mouse, you may see something in another section. Even my touchscreen has a tab but I have not tried using it.
My fault, I'm asking about turning laptop on from poweroff state by pressing key on (external) keyboard. Useful when you have a lid closed and external monitor attached.
Dell, please implement this feature!!! I believe Alienware laptop has this capability.

Dell, any plans to implement this feature?
Once again: power on the laptop from S4 state (hibernate or poweroff) using external USB keyboard
