Expanding upon comment #3

xinput shows

⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=14 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ ELAN Touchscreen id=9 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Logitech M315/M235 id=10 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
    ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]

I have issued the command

xinput disable 'ELAN Touchscreen'

this disables my touchscreen, which I don't use anyhow, and the disable-while-typing works correctly on my touchpad.
