It's not all that hard to swap them out.  They come off easily enough
just using your fingers to gently "pop" each off.  It's putting them
back on that can be a bit tricky, as the scissors mechanism is sometimes
difficult to align just right, particularly on the larger keys.

Of course, it's no more difficult than putting back on a key that's
inadvertently popped off.

I'd say give it a shot with a single key on the iBook:  take it off, put
it back on.  If that feels comfortable, you could try swapping it with
its TiBook counterpart.  From there, it's just a matter of patience and
effort.
