RE: Prime Reverse-Engineering
Han has a great idea for backlight, but the keys would be the least of problem. See the photos of my Prime teardown:

The PCB would need to have some sort of illumination and the black rubber cushion would be replaced by something more transmissive of light. Then there's the battery-life issue.

If the part of the case surrounding the keys were translucent, edge-lighting with a few LED's might improve the visibility by lighting the area around the keys.
