So what is in a name? Apple sometimes holds onto hardware for a few series in the case the 2009 MacBook and MacBook Pro.

Apple intro’ed this design in the MacBook and then took it over to the MacBook Pro line with some minor updates. The big difference is the back lit keys in the Pro model. So you will loose that here.

The cost of the correct keyboard is not that high MacBook Pro Unibody (A1278) Keyboard I would just put in the proper part.
