Montery 12.5.1--Still can't disable the trackpad with bt mouse.

Will there ever be a fix for this? I've tried several Mac compatible mouse models, and still no disabling. Could Apple at least offer a physical cover to prevent the trackpad from moving the cursor? I find it impossible to type without touching the thing.


MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.5
