>Wouldn't it be just as good to run them through the table saw?

A table saw blade will leave the blade radius kerf extended beyond
the keytop. Sloppy IMHO.

A planed, square cut on the resurfacing is a much more professional
appearance. And it looks better too. The 'notch' can also be used as
an index for for installation.

You have more control/precision with routing than sawing.

No need to clamp, which can cause drift. Tape is a better stabilizer.
I would caution though on the adhesive which can leave a residue.
Adding another task...clean up.  Take the time to cut 1" strips of
masking tape to adhere back onto to the tape at the sharp top/sides
so there is no adhesive touching the surface of the sharp and the
derned stick-um won't gum it up.
