If you don't need a "déclic" (that would be "positive feel" in
English, I think) I once used some very much like the APEM ones
that Radiospares sell (order code 336-747 or 336-731). Can't tell
you anything about their bounce time, but I was happy with them.

They're not cheap and they protrude quite a bit, though. There's
always the possibility of mounting them on a recessed strip of
metal screwed to the back of the panel...

If you have a minimum order issue with RS, I'm going to place an
order there soon.
