[sdiy] Pushbutton Switches

I'm hoping someone has a suggestion.

I'm looking for a light touch but positive action pushbutton switch with
prefrrably a 1/4" mounting hole.  The ones I've used in the past had a body
like a normal small toggle switch, but were pushbutton and had a snap-on
cap.  and when you pressed it, unstead of feeling like mush it was a nice
light resistence with a Click at the end of travel that you could feel in
your fingertip.

I dont want to use those Radio Shack style crap pushbuttons on this project
( as I actually try to FULLY complete a project for once ).
( there will be pictures to prove that it happened if it does )

Any suggestions?  I cant tell from Mouser which ones actually have the feel
I want...  The toggle switches I'm using are Alco ( picked up NOS surplus
for $10 and I bought 100 of them ) and I was planning to use a C&K A201
series, but I got them out this morning and the feel is horrible.

Thanks.
