Use
las llaves. First person is established by the verb's ending, so it's redundant to use a possessive determiner that expresses the same person. In some places, native speakers of Spanish will double up on possession. Most, however, do not.
The "no fault '
se'" construction means that you aren't taking the blame for losing your keys.
Your last two sentences mean that you blame yourself for losing your keys. To the English-wired brain, this is normal; of course it's our fault. But the Spanish don't take blame for forgetting, losing, dropping, breaking, etc. That's why the "no fault (accidental) '
se'" construction exists.
