How to disable the mouse cursor when using dualsense touchpad?

Some playstation games i'm playing require using the touchpad to interact with parts of the game and i'm unable to do so currently as the touchpad is treated as mouse input. there is documentation for this on the arch wiki but i'm unsure how to apply it. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Gamepad#Disable_touchpad_acting_as_mouse

make the file /etc/udev/rules.d/72-ds4tm.rules put this inside it

# Disable DS4 touchpad acting as mouse
# USB
ATTRS{name}=="Sony Computer Entertainment Wireless Controller Touchpad", ENV{LIBINPUT_IGNORE_DEVICE}="1"
# Bluetooth
ATTRS{name}=="Wireless Controller Touchpad", ENV{LIBINPUT_IGNORE_DEVICE}="1"

reload udev rules with sudo udevadm control --reload to manually trigger the rules sudo udevadm trigger you found the answer for kde while i was translating the archwiki guide for you 🤣
