My (hardware) stuck XO-1 key experience was intermittent. Opening/ 
closing, moving, slight case flexing was enough to stop or start the  
issue. If it is the old hardware issue (and keys around the edge did  
seem to be the ones effected), the ~30min sticky tape fix worked and  
continues to work today for me (6 months on):
