I have a mid-2010 macbook pro, model number A1286, and bought a replacement keyboard for it that turns out to be for a 2009 Macbook pro with the same model number A1286. Before I go through the process of taking it all apart I wanted to know if these keyboards are the same?
Is this a good question?

I'm going to answer my own question here: I took the chance and went through the trouble to install the mid-2009 keyboard into my mid 2010 macbook pro and the keyboard works flawlessly! On reassembly I messed up and didn't fully align the LEDs on the the backlight strip so my backlighting's a bit funky. I'm not about to tear it back apart to fix it though!
Was this answer helpful?
GREAT! I've been searching for EXACTLY this kind of information for hours, thanks! :D

Funny thing, I can't seem to answer my own question! Is there a work-around?!
