Block 29 is the piece you will possibly be most interested in.
Block 29 in the machines I have serviced appears twice. One instance intact as a single assembly for the CURSOR KEYS. The other seemingly snapped into single pieces for use as "SOFT KEY TOP PIECES"
For the "TACT-SWITCHES" that sit under the "SOFT KEY TOP PIECES"; find the appropriate posting in these threads:
