also busted open the fob and cleaned, re positioned the contacts as well. futile. Nissan basically said "idk kid, never seen this before. we can sell you a new key but it might do the same thing"

also have 2032 batteries in it

I would get them to program on a key and see if it works, if it does THEN you will buy one, if not keep looking.

My thing is that if both the keys stopped working, why would a third ? its not like i have a dead fob, i have a dead car

Did the dealer say the room antennas were fine?

"everything is operating as it should, in its original place". driving me nuts lol i dont even have keyless entry. i have been leaving the FOB in the slot and just keeping the key on my keyring when its in the garage.
