Can the keyboard be removed from the top case like the macbook pro ?
Actually, the real question I want to ask is .. is it possible to replace just the keyboard on A1278 instead of the entire top case ?
Esta é uma boa pergunta?

Yes it can. You have to disassemble the computer and remove the logic board though.

Right Jim +. You really have to take everything apart (the HDD, battery and optical drive too) and than it's 49 tiny screws (and two more for the power switch) to get the keyboard out. But it's fun and possible.
does that mean I can use a backlit keyboard for my macbook? I read that 15% of the MB466 models can't support the backlit feature
I am looking to replace the keyboard only or the TOP cover of the a1278. MBP mid 2012.
Discussing with a Genius bar tech guy, he recommended to buy the Top cover including the keyboard and backlight, apparently.
I found the top cover for 39 CAD+ transport. While the Keyboard only can be bought at +/- 10 CAD + transport.
Hope this helps.
PS: I think I will go for the TOP Cover, less risk with keyboard and backlight, power button too.
