I removed the battery again and took a closer look at the keyboard.
It's definitely melted plastic rivets holding it to a plastic framing
that everything else screws into.  I really don't want to start
cutting into plastic.  (here's a video of someone cutting and
glue-gunning in a replacement:

places sell the casing with the keyboard
(https://www.ebay.com/itm/US-keyboard-for-Asus-ZenBook-UX305CA-UX305FA-Dark-Grey-Palmrest-Topcase/152878737232)
so I'll look around and see who best to order that from.  There's so
many models and sub-models that I need to be very careful with which
one I order.

I tried calling ASUS to see how much they'd charge for a repair and
they want a whopping $540 to just replace the keyboard.
