Nah those have a ground terminal, which i think, and someone correct me if I'm wrong, is a fifth contact pin. I would get something that matches the specs to the ones I ended up installing (the spec on the operating force is a matter of preference).

Look at

The tact switches there are highly recommended. My MPC feels sleek now, it has so improved my attitude towards my MPC from - turning it on only if I had to - to - turning it on just to see how smoothly it works now. These tacts make it a joy to use & are designed to 1million operations, so won't be replacing them for a while.

A small flat head screwdriver (an electronics or eyeglasses screwdriver works well) can be used to carefully pry the connector apart. Just work it between the two pieces until it loosens up then disconnect.
