Permanently disable keyboard

Question

I have a broken keyboard, some of the keys get stuck down. It can not be easily repaired, or removed.

I have used xinput to disable the built in keyboard of my laptop, because it sometimes sends a shift pressed, when it is not pressed.

For some reason, the keyboard randomly becomes re-enabled.

I wrote this script to disable the keyboard, and then to monitor (and re-dis-able it). When I run it, it shows the keyboard re-enabling. I have not yet discovered why this happens.

Does anyone have any idea, how to permanently disable it?
I am using Debian Jessie Gnu/Linux.

#!/bin/bash

function yoga-keyboard-disable () {
    KeyboardToRemove="AT Translated Set 2 keyboard"

    xinput list |
        grep "$KeyboardToRemove" |
        sed -r -e 's/.*id=([0-9]+).*/\1/' |
        xargs xinput float
}

while true
do
    date | tr -d '\n'
    while (xinput | sed -nr -e 's/.*AT Translated Set 2 keyboard[[:blank:]]+id=[0-9]+[[:blank:]]\[floating slave]/ — OK/p') | grep "OK$"
    do
        sleep 5m
        date | tr -d '\n'
    done
    echo
    xinput
    yoga-keyboard-disable
done

Example output of the script:

Most of the output is the lines ending in — OK. The keyboard re-attaching is rare (less than once per day).
