I'd recommend borrowing some of the small conductive rubber hemispheres 
used in computer keyboards (What _do_ you call those things?!). I 
recently scrapped a Atari ST and it has individual hemispheres for each 
key - ask me and I'll send you a photo. Some keyboards have all the 
rubber buttons on a single sheet, which isn't so good if you want to 
arrange the buttons in a accordian-like manner. They're small enough to 
be used under accordian keys, about 12mm diameter or so if I remember.
