Where to get foot button micro switches?

Inside my Digitech fs3x footswitch are three heavy duty stompbox buttons that press down on a microswitch. I was wondering where I could get hold of similar individual switches. Ideally it would be a premade little unit. I want them to control arduino circuits.

Hello @CZfreqmod, Can you add a photo to identify templates please ?

You must have an older or newer version of the fs3x because mine has 3 heavy duty momentary switches... no microswitches involved.
If you are looking for the switches themselves and not the actuator, I ordered these for my Mustang III footswitch which uses an actuator and microswitch:

Or, maybe something like this is closer?:

Underneath those black plastic cube bits are surface mounted micro switches. So I guess the actuators are the thing. I was hoping there might be a unit with actuator and microswitch all together so I could just take some wires off it to some vero board and bolt the switch unit to the pedal casing.
