Microswitches

I've recently decided to take on making a ir pen for myself, and it seems that 99% of discussion in this part of the forum, is on the LED's themselves. But one thing i havnt seen get talked about at all, is the switches that people use to turn their pens on. i really want to make a nice slimline pen, but i have yet to find for myself an inexpensive and really small pushbutton switch.
I know i've seen some peoples pens on here with really small buttons, and rather then posting on each one asking what kind of switch they used, i thought that i could try asking everyone at once. So, what have you guys found to be a good, super small easy to wire switch?

when i was looking at radio shack for switches, i found some really small micro momentary switches at radio shack. the ones i noticed were called tact switches. look up product# 275-004 (only 6.2mmx6.2mm), product 275-002 is a little thicker (5mm) but has the same foot print, and product 275-1547. i hope this helps. i'm in the process of trying to make my first pen also. let me know how your pens is coming along.
