Your problem should be on the keyboard, because have only few keys not working correctly.
A problem on the motherboard will affect much more keys.
In such case should affect an entire raw/column of the keyboard matrix.
And sticking, or repeating keys is sign of some liquid more agressive than water...

Yep, there is nothing wrong with the trackpad. The main problem with the keys is the double pressing when I only tap once, a quick google shows that it’s very common mechanical problem with the 2016/2017 MacBook Pro mainly being the new butterfly mechanism.

What I’m hoping/asking is that if I send if back off again for a second opinion with a different authorised service repair centre will they do what they were going to do which is replace the whole top case as when they open it up this time the trackpad (which has always been working fine) will show no signs of liquid ingress just like the keyboard and the rest of the machine?
