Is it possible to get the external Magic Trackpad disabled automatically while I'm typing?

I do get a lot of cursor movements/clicks when just touching the trackpad accidentally.

Magic Trackpad or Built-in Trackpad? I think you mean the last one. – Nathan Feb 16 at 10:54

If you mean the built-in trackpad, then you cannot disable it. But you can disable it if you connect an external mouse to your Mac.

To do, just open System Preferences > Accessibility (or Universal Access) > Mouse & Trackpad > tick on Ignore built-in trackpad when mouse or wireless trackpad is present

You're done.
