The keyboard is usually connected to the motherboard with a ribbon, and the touchpad with another ribbon. Stuff might have gotten into the connector and gummed it up. Carefully remove the ribbon from the motherboard, clean and reinstall.

Yeah, those videos are exactly why I was looking for someone who does
what he does. But it does seem to be a rare thing. I think my issue
may just be the keyboard, but I don't think it's possible to open that
part (and, of course, it's underneath everything else just to see if
it's even possible). I miss the days where the keyboard could be
pulled out from the top without having to even open the casing.
