Mac Pro is a Desktop.

MacBook Pro is a Notebook, you can have the keyboard repaired/replaced if you continue to have an issue:

i don`t plan on handing it in, i am just looking for a way to disable the keyboard.

Not possible—the keyboard and trackpad are controlled by the same cable

If an external Keyboard does not register and an external trackpad/mouse does not register—your hands are tied.

no, external devices do register and they work just fine, but the internal keyboard is still causing issues. it behaves like the shift key is always pressed, so i just want to deactivate it and use an external one.

Understood.

Your Mac has liquid damage. It impacts your external keyboard— your hands are tied.

Repair it, trade it in, buy a new one, keep liquid a way from computer.

There is no " deactivate it "
