See p. 29 of the Manual here:

 

Manual

 

HP only "spares" the touchpad buttons with the whole top cover. 

 

Which you need depends on if you have the fingerprint reader:

 

For use in model 8460p: ● Includes 4-button touchpad and fingerprint reader 642744-001 ● Includes 4-button touchpad without fingerprint reader 642747-001

 

But eBay sellers will break apart a top cover and offer just the touchpad. The Service Manual does not show how to remove it from the top cover but once you get the top cover off it should be pretty obvious and if you install this you will have new crispy touchpad buttons:

I also see that may sellers offer the whole top cover for not much if any more money.Post back if you want some links for one of those.
