I was thinking about adding "stuck key" to the list above, but it seems unlikely that would cause the "next page" key to cause a (stuck key) keycode release event, and elastomeric keys usually do not get "stuck" due to their simple construction.
If a sugary beverage had ever been spilled on the keyboard, that could cause intermittent problems because after the sugar dries its conductivity is sensitive to any moisture it absorbs from the air (humidity sensitive, so more problematic in the summer).
In the rare event that an elastomeric key fails, it is usually caused by a "collapse" (physical damage from excessive pressure held over a long time period, such as a book pressing on keys during storage).
