Stupid question about laptop trackpad

I've seen a youtube video of people converting a macbook trackpad to a usb trackpad.

For a hackintoshed laptop, would converting a trackpad bought off ebay, and retrofitting it in the laptop (if the dimensions are fairly close), to replace the built in trackpad, be something that is possible? Has anyone on this sub tried that?
