Shift.

They're big enough I don't have to aim. They're located on both edges (at least on TKL). They do nothing on their own.

Yeah I really expected this to be the vast majority of answers, it just makes the most sense. Ctrl is too small and space will type a space into my password box that I'll have to delete before I can unlock my screen

Control is easier for me to hit because it's the corner of the keyboard.

I hit Shift+Ctrl 3 times. Its easy enough and the pattern works on my desktops and laptops so I only have to remember one behavior to wake up all my devices

Does that still do the sticky keys thing on windows? We used to turn that on so it would make noises in like high school, because we were a bunch of gremlins.

i mean, the question was about waking my computer up from sleep. I don't think that would trigger sticky keys, even on windows.
