How to disable built-in keyboard on OS X 10.9.1? Before 10.9.1, I can disable/enable the built-in keyboard of my Air with the commands:

sudo kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBTopCase.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleUSBTCKeyboard.kext
sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBTopCase.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleUSBTCKeyboard.kext


But it seems after I updated to 10.9.1, the commands don't work anymore. Maybe the update made the command moot?

Also, I was getting desperate (thus, stupid) in trying to disable the built-in keyboard, that I tried deleting the AppleUSBTCKeyboard.kext directory, thinking it would just get regenerated after a restart. Well, it didn't get regenerated. My built-in keyboard still works, but I'm not sure if the missing directory will have some hidden side-effects.
You might use a private.xml like this with KeyRemap4MacBook:

&lt;?xml version="1.0"?&gt;
&lt;root&gt;
  &lt;devicevendordef&gt;
    &lt;vendorname&gt;APPLE&lt;/vendorname&gt;
    &lt;vendorid&gt;0x05f3&lt;/vendorid&gt;
  &lt;/devicevendordef&gt;
  &lt;deviceproductdef&gt;
    &lt;productname&gt;LAPTOPKEYBOARD&lt;/productname&gt;
    &lt;productid&gt;0x1234&lt;/productid&gt;
  &lt;/deviceproductdef&gt;
  &lt;item&gt;
    &lt;name&gt;test&lt;/name&gt;
    &lt;identifier&gt;test&lt;/identifier&gt;
    &lt;device_only&gt;DeviceVendor::APPLE, DeviceProduct::LAPTOPKEYBOARD&lt;/device_only&gt;
