My gut feeling is that the sensors are not able to be shut off via software, but I don't really know.
I do not think that the keys and leds are directly controlled by the main processor (ARM) but by an extra processor (see kbdupgrade-component). The code of that processor is not published, so it will not be easy to change it. This processor MIGHT have the ability to powerdown the sensors (and itself?).
