windows - How to disable a keyboard?

Im looking how I can disable my laptop keyboard, I looked into the Device manager and there is no "Disable this device", Don't want to uninstall it, just turn it off.

I'm just troubleshooting some hardware issues.

any suggestions ?

Thanks

You may use devcon from Microsoft

The DevCon utility is a command-line utility that acts as an alternative to Device Manager. Using DevCon, you can enable, disable, restart, update, remove, and query individual devices or groups of devices. DevCon also provides information that is relevant to the driver developer and is not available in Device Manager.

the link contain a detailed page about how to use it,

for your case, just put

devcon find *

To lists device instances of all devices that are present on the local computer.then,

devcon disable [ your-keyboard-HardwareID ]

to disable devices that match that specific hardware or instance ID
