It spams random keys and half of the keys are missing, I've tried reinstalling macos, restarting, and pulling out some of the keys, can someone tell me why this doesn't work?
Is this a good question?

Hi Christian,
It really sounds like your keyboard has bitten the dust. I'll let others on here offer any alternatives they may have up their sleeves, but if that was mine I'd be planning on replacing the keyboard.
The good news is that it's doable, and the parts and instructions are readily available here on iFixit. You can always search out a lower price on sites like eBay, Amazon and AliExpress.
The keyboard can be purchased new or used here.

And the replacement guide for it is here.

The bad news is that everything else in the laptop is mounted on the upper case you'll be replacing, so you're pretty much looking at a complete teardown and rebuild. Like I said, it's doable especially given the quality of the iFixit guide; all you have to do is follow along step by step and you'll be fine. And of course there is a whole community of people here who are willing and able to help out with advice and suggestions.
Best of luck with your repair.

Yep! Needs a new keyboard, aka uppercase!
@jacksonskyhock you might be able to get a free repair from Apple but the keyboard can't look mangled!
