Using keyboard on dell e5440 disables left click (but not trackpad)

On my dell e5440 with an Alps touchpad, typing disables the trackpad left click for a second. This feature is annoying me but I cant seem to figure out how to disable it. I already disabled TouchGuard in the Dell Touchpad software And now I can move the cursor while typing but left click still stays disabled. I did some googling and found that swapping mouse buttons in windows fixes it, which it does, but now right click gets disabled for a second after typing. I tried editing registry to disable completely, by changing Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Alps\Apoint SPTapTyping and SPTapTypi
