On yet another note, has anyone used metal dome push-button switches?I have used membrane switches with domes. Check their rated life. After a few hundred thousand operations some of them collapse and short. Can happen if you are designing equipment for years of service. http://www.duraswitch.com claim to not have this problem.
This idea is fading for me. I think it's going to be better to use a tactile momentary push-button switch. My search is ongoing. I'd like to find one that allows a long enough button so I can mount it on main pcb, and make the pcb small enough to allow some fitting slop. Otherwise, I'll go with plan 'b' and make a small button board :)
