I bought these, hoping they were normally closed switches:

I would have found out they were N.O. if I stopped to read the damn datasheet!

Where can I source a sturdy NC stomp switch? I have found them in varieties that would be sub-par for stomping on though, just not what I need...

I normally buy these ones, they are SPDT, so you can wire them up to be normally open or normally closed if you want.

I used an 'x'-wing dpdt momentary in my echo base, has worked fine but hasn't seen enough abuse to know how well it will stand up over time. Small Bear have them but i picked a few up locally for not much money so you may need to hunt around to find a good deal.

I carry the NC version of the soft-touch momentary if you want that:

I also have the "X-wing" like the one at Tayda. However, it isn't as rugged a part as the soft-touch.
