Backlit Keyboard for dv9000

Is there a backlit keyboard replacement part available that would be compatible with my dv9727cl laptop?  I know there is not an optional one listed for the dv9000 but wondering if a backlit from another model would be compatible.  Would really like this as I use my laptop very often in minimum lighting.

What I want to know is:

 

Will the keyboard from a G60 fit the dv9000?  They appear to be the same size, but I wonder if the connector will fit.  The G60 has a full-sized right shift key.

I don't know but do agree the right shift key is too small.  i have developed typing using the left shift no matter which side of the keyboard the key is on.

Re: Backlit Keyboard for dv9000

I've been looking at the new laptops, and I've come to realize I really love my dv9000.  I just upgraded to a 500g 7200 RPM HD with 16M of cache, and 4 G of Ram.  Who needs a new one now?  I also ordered another 500g HD, so I'll have a teribyte of storage.

 

I just wish the shift key was full-sized.  I might just buy a new keyboard for $20 and hope it fits.
