For these little guys:




What are your sources for various actuators (both pushbuttons and footswitches)? What do you use?

What about like what you see on Boss FS series footswitches or the Behringer FCB1010?

I actually seek these with these with actuator 15mm tall - plenty available in black on Ebay, but I need white & cream - so I contacted one random Asian manafactirer ...."no problem, 80,000 minium quantity sir"

I really wish they made these tactile switches where the actuators could be "screwed in" in different colours/lengths!

let me clarify - I need a source not for the switches themselves, but for spring loaded devices to trigger them with (from outside the enclosure)

like this, or even various other (smaller) stuff:
