>> having never once had a keyboard go bad including the coffee-spilled ones, It can happen. I spilled a sugary soda over my plastic Macbook almost 10y ago now, and fried the keyboard. It was easily fixed by ordering a refurb part from OWC and following the steps in their repair video. The idea of DIY'ing something like that today on an Apple product seems very quaint.
