Specific keys (5, 6, 8) work inconsistently on Y500

I'm talking about digits row, not numpad block.
 
Very often those keys either don't work, or print two characters at once. If I press again, they may work or not, or print two characters this time.
 
Anyone had this issue? I'm looking for those who have a design similar to Lenovo Y500. 
 
It started after a good few years of usage and became very annoying.
 
Is the keys structure just becoming old? Can I take those specific keys out and clean them, or it's too risky and I can break them in the process? Do I have to disassemble the whole laptop? Is the keyboard disassembled from the front or the back? I'm going to replace the wi-fi soon so I was thinking if I could do both.
 
I also heard about something like compressed air keyboard cleaner. Could it help with my case and my keyboard type, and do I use it on assembled or disassembled parts?
