Theoretically yes. See p. 19 of the Manual here:

Each top cover option comes in a backlit or non-backlit version for the keyboard. The keyboard is a part of the whole top cover and the only way to buy it is to buy the whole top cover and replace it. The hard part is this:

 

Top cover with keyboard The top cover with keyboard remains after removing all other spared parts from the computer.

 

So replacing the top cover is a major technical challenge. And the part is going to be pretty expensive. But again, it is theoretically doable. 

 

Post back with any more questions and please accept as solution if this is the info you needed.

Again theoretically yes, but what these folks don't say is that the keyboard is tightly integrated into the top cover. It is bolted in with plastic rivets which must be removed by heating and then re-melted with the replacement board to rebuild the connection. A few users have tried it and reported that the keyboard is not set tight into the top cover and wobbles and has functional issues. There are some youtube videos out there showing the process. Happy to help as much as possible and good luck.
