Do note that being able to completely remove MS keys is highly dependent on your mainboard. Not in the sense of if they allow you to do it (I think most if not all DIY boards allow you to), but if you will be able to boot afterwards.

I (soft?)bricked a mainboard and it doesn't want to boot anymore after I removed the MS keys. The worst part is, that it has a dualBIOS and no active switch to change between them, only their own "I'll change when I see issues"... well you can guess how well that worked out (and I am not able to get it to clear CMOS for some reason).
