Which desktop environment are you using? If it's gnome I think you can just go into mouse settings and disable the controller. That won't disable it entirely though, just it acting as a mouse. Kde has something similar

I'm using KDE.
Disabling the touchpad in the settings will disable the touchpad for the controller, but it also disables the touchpad for my laptop which I do not want.

xinput disablecommand. Runxinput listto show the available device names and IDs, orman xinputfor more details.Another approach, assuming you're using an X11 session (not Wayland), would be to disable the device in xorg.conf.
A custom udev rule could also do the trick, although it might be more complicated than an xinput command.
