IFF there were reason to do so, it shouldn't be very difficult
(mechanically) to modify it so that the switch portion remains functional,
IIRC, there's metal actuator cam on the back of the lock, and the
projection that operates the microswitch is diferent from the part that
locks the case together. So it's possible to hacksaw off the latter and
leave the former alone.
But why bother? If you don't have a key to fit the lock, you can't use it
anyway (I assume you want the case to be openable and the keyboard
enabled). If you do have a key, it's no real problem if the case is
locked and the keyboard disabled at the same time.
