I got gifted a cool keyboard and the only comfortable spot I can put it on is over my laptop keyboard but this results in the laptop keys being pressed. So I can disable the laptop keyboard but then I cant use the power button and I am afraid I wont be able to power it on after shutting it down. I am using an aspire a515-52

    You cant do that, the A515-52 is not designed to have any other keyboard onto or top of the OEM keyboard like you are having, yes you can have an external keyboard but the power key (top right) is only a feature with your OEM A515-52's keyboard or you can put into sleep mode and try that with the other keyboard? As in sleep mode just a touch of a key will wake the laptop up, try that?
