    I highly prefer silicone rubber buttons (like the ones on every piece of benchtop lab equipment) over these membrane ones. The membrane ones always feel cheap and have low travel.

    I use TADA Membrane switch company and can highly recommend them. They don't have this fancy website to order from, but they do have nice support and they basically design it all for you for around $100 and you just swap a few emails to confirm the design.
