The board looks fine at fist glance, the only things that i would do are to change the crystal oscillato to a ceramic one thereby removing the need for any capacito on it. Also add a header for in circuit seial programing. Add a seial or usb output so you can coneect it to a computer while its woking, and maybe swap out the l293 for an l298 (they allow a more poweful motor so you have an opportunity to upgrade)

Theres a pice of grit underneath my buttons, It chooses a different key to obstruct everyday. I think its intelligent and knows exactly what its doing  ;D

to stay on topic:
you can use a screwdriver or a knife to pry out the buttons, i had to do it with all my keys cos the keyboard was full of shenanigans.
good way to learn where which buttons are too lol.

The ceramic type has a higher error rate, and could cause you problems with the UART. I recommend the xtal.
