Colorized MacBook Pro Keyboard Backlight
I use my MacBook Pro for astronomy. The backlit keyboard would be great in the dark, but its white light is bad for night vision. This mod makes it red, or any other color you want.
In addition to that revised keyboard design, Apple announced some CPU upgrades today, with the 15-inch MacBook Pro receiving an eight-core processor option for the first time. Both the 13-inch MacBook Pro and 16-inch MacBook Pro come in either silver or space gray and those colors have been a staple on tons of Apple devices over the years. What color option you choose is ultimately up to you, but there are some subtle differences between the two you may not have thought about. MacBook Air 11' has slightly different keyboard, with smaller top and bottom row keys to accommodate smaller laptop size. Newest MacBooks Pro with TouchBar don't have upper F keys row, instead, they have a touchscreen which changes displayed options based on context. Exquisite finish plastic hard shell case protects your MacBook Pro from scrapes and scratches. Ultra slim light weight hard case has 10 oz in weight and 0.62 mm in thickness design almost adds no weight to your device. Including matching color keyboard cover to protect your MacBook keyboard against spills and contaminates. A 13-inch MacBook Pro costs £999 in the UK, compared to $1,199 (about £760) in the US. For this reason (I guess), brand new US models cost about £850 on UK eBay. The obvious downside is the keyboard layout is US, not UK. Only a couple of keys are different on US keyboards.

This is a 'unibody' MacBook Pro (17', early 2009). A similar procedure may work for other MacBooks. Assuming it works at all, that is: it may void your warranty, damage your machine, damage yourself, or damage your favorite stuffed animal.
The keyboard backlight is built in layers under the keyboard. Furthest from the keyboard is a sheet of plastic foil, white on one side and black on the other. A half-dozen white LEDs are mounted to this sheet. Next is a clear sheet with translucent white dots under the keys. The dots catch the light and redirect it up to the keyboard itself.

To change the keyboard color, you need a keyboard-sized sheet of plastic between the clear sheet and the keyboard. It must be thin to fit inside the tightly-packed case, and it must be mostly transparent to avoid dimming the light too much. Note also that the inside of the case might get hot.
First, open the machine to expose the back side of the keyboard. 3d drafting software. This requires disassembling much of the machine. The iFixit teardown may be useful; I needed to remove the motherboard and DVD drive, but left the battery and hard disk in place and did not remove the fans from the motherboard.

Once the black sheet behind the keyboard is exposed, carefully peel it off. Don't tear it and don't forget which way it goes. Then peel off the clear sheet and cut your colorizer to the same size with the same mounting holes in the middle. Then put the keyboard back together - first the colorizer, then clear sheet, then opaque sheet - and reassemble the machine.
