I know far less about gluing keytops than any of the respondents who have replied thus far. However, and for what it's worth, Howard Piano Industries sells a PVC glue (yes, PVC not PVA) that they recommend for keytops. It's reportedly water soluble, clear and reversible. I purchased some for rebushing some keys on my Burton harpsichord. It was easy to use but note, again, that I have never used it for keytops. Here's the link to the PVC glue"
