You idiot, that's C910, not C912 (thanks, Rick).  Next time check the 
schematics instead of relying on your questionable brain cells.  You
don't want folks cutting out C912, you really don't.

C910 and C911 are the same kind of capacitor, and relatively small.  C912
is a larger one, and it actually helps keyboard performance, even for the 
new keyboards.  DON'T REMOVE C912.
