Is there any way to disable the keypad backlight while keeping the LCD backlight on?

Thanks for telling us what he meant. Next time maybe you should let the person that made the comment tell me what he "meant" by it, and try reading my reply again. I said that the buttons are lit up by the lcd (on the board), no where do I say that it shares the same light source. At any of the normal light settings, if you disconnect the end/send lights from the board itself, then the LCD will not light up at all, and then when left at its lowest setting the lcd light will turn on again (I've tried it). SO, like I said, one cannot have one on without the other, unless you put the LCD at its lowest setting which is not the result the question asker is looking for (like I stated earlier).

Next time, when replying to someones comment, try not to come off as a prick, and you will get better responses to your feedback.

Well I hadn't thought this would become an argument...

I still think that this has to be possible somehow. As mentioned above, when you dim the backlight the 2 LEDs in the keys stay the same brightness until you reach the minimum backlight and then they shut off so if they do not dim together than they are most likely not controlled "100%" together. That being said, should it be the case, there is most likely a driver for each set of LEDs: one driver that controls the 2 buttons and one driver that controls the LCD's Backlight that somehow work together.

If it is possible to control the LEDs up by the earpiece speaker then I'm sure there has to be a way to control the LEDs in the buttons as well...

Right, even though my post may have came out wrong, I still think they are driven indepently, regardless of how they are connected to the board.
