Hmm, how about these:

- if you have a multimeter, check if the voltage on the USB jack at the pin
where +5V would be provided by the PC is moving when you press keys. It is
one of the outer pins, the other one is Gnd (connected to the chassis).
- clean the PCB with alcohol (using e.g. Q-Tips and compressed air)
- if nothing helps, add a pulldown resistor to the +5V USB pin to make it
harder for false alerts

I'm not sure if the circuit allows to influence or measure it there. If a
diode is inbetween, you have to go futher towards the CPU.
