man synclient and man syndaemon
a should tell you what you need to know.

syndaemon -

"Disabling the touchpad while typing avoids unwanted movements of the
pointer that could lead to giving focus to the wrong window."


$ synclient here gives:

sensitivity that you mentioned, or do almost anything else.

man synaptics documents what all those parameters do.
