Here’s a short term solution that worked for me if your keyboard stops functioning entirely. I have a MacBook Pro 2011 13” using an Apple Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard (MC184LL/A).
Buy the Apple Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard and place it directly over the MacBook Pro keyboard when using the laptop.
Because the Apple Bluetooth Keyboard is slightly raised and the MacBook Pro keyboard is slightly sunken, the keyboard can rest above the keys without interference. This may not work for all models and there are several different types of keyboards from Apple.

'''Important:''' You should bring your laptop into the store first and test out the keyboards, since the new Magic Keyboard is less elevated than the older Apple Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard (MC184LL/A).
I am using the Apple Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard (MC184LL/A).
Obviously, you can’t close the lid with an external keyboard, and it makes travel more difficult. But, it does allow you to utilize the trackpad and laptop in a fashion similar to how it was designed.
