First of all, try if this dconf setting is of any use:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad disable-while-typing `false`

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad send-events `disabled` (corrected)
Notebook also may disable the touchpad with Fn + F5, you may try that.
If that doesn't word, please add the output of libinput-list-devices to your question. You also may wanna have a look at this:
