I'm looking for a tactile on off switch (push button). Not a momentary switch but a push button switch that turns on when pressed and released, and turns off when pushed and released. The thing is it needs to be small like about 10mm x 10mm.

Does sparkfun have this kind of switch?

I know what a momentary switch is, but what would this type be called?

Thanks in advance.

A latching push button.

The latching push button is too big. I need to find one that is not much bigger than 10 mm (1cm) in size HxDxW

Maybe this one:

I've used something similar to this one before and I really liked them. The one I used is out of stock but the linked one is similar.

It's about 9mm diameter and very well built.
