[sdiy] Looking for model:samples rubber buttons

[Spiros Makris]

The problem does not lie with the contacts, which still work perfectly.
The button is made of rubber and is connected with the rest of the
buttonboard with a membrane; this membrane broke and the button came right
off.
Unfortunately this is not a single part, you need a new button set because
all of them are connected that way, and their return action is thanks to
this rubber membrane.
I'm up to performing some modification to make the broken one work, but I
couldn't come up with anything worth trying.
