Disable/Enable PS/2 device programatically

I have an HP Envy and for all it's good qualities it's got a horrible, dumb, always-in-the-way clickpad.

I've taken to disabling the device via Mouse Properties and then re-enabling it when I want to do mouse-based clicking.

Disable device via Mouse Properties

I'd like to hook up the toggling of this driver to a shortcut. I know how to do the shortcut key part using AutoHotKey, but don't know how to use the command line to disable a device. How do I do that?
