Well, yes. :-)

The pc board is only two-layer, though, just front and back. I may try
to trace where the switches connect to to see which ones are plausible
guesses for what I want.

That would be my guess; it is placed right next to the chip I suspect
of being the CPU.

It could be, but the puck is connected with an RJ-11-style plug and
jack, which jack could equally well be used for a stylus if the
interface is sufficiently compatible.
