Re: Deactivating my MBP's Track Pad

Another thing you could try is enabling Mouse Keys in accessibility preferences, available from the System Preferences app. This normally allows the mouse to be controllable using keyboard keys. There is an option to ignore the built-in trackpad when you’ve enabled Mouse Keys. Best, Grant On
