And there may be jumpers on the motherboard to set which devices are
still powered up in standby mode.  If the keyboard's plugged into a port
that's totally shut down, in standby mode, the keyboard is not going to
be able to be used to wake the computer back up again.

I doubt any non-desktop computer would have jumpers for that, but may
have the same limitation:  That something might be completely powered
off, and the keyboard circuitry might be considered too much of a power
drain to be left running, opting for the simplicity of whatever monitors
just the power button.
