Like physical danger?  No. The only time I've hurt myself working on keyboards or other electronics has been due to sloppy inattentive tool-work and never from electricity.  Any given PSS keyboard probably has less than 9 volts going through it.

There is always some margin of danger, however, that you could break whatever you're working on.  It happens, but happily only in the minority of cases.

If I remember correctly, there's some discussion somewhere on this forum about pss270's, and there's also an excellent walk through for the data-line mod here: http://www.circuit-bent.net/pss-270-tutorial.html
