No, or at least, not directly.  They might both be symptoms of the same 
design error.

The REMOTE_WAKEUP attribute means that the device is capable of sending a
signal to the computer while it is suspended, asking to be resumed because
an event of some kind has occurred.  It would be the appropriate way to
report that someone had pressed one of the switches while the device was
suspended, but apparently the PSC805 doesn't support it.

What use is polling for activity if the devices have no way to report the
activity to the computer?
