If all you need is a momentary contact switch, try taking
an ordinary decora style switch apart. The rocker will
pry off fairly easily. Pay attention, to how the copper
contact goes back together. You will find a recessed
hole already manufactured into the switch. Buy a small
spring from the hardware store. Cut it to length to achieve
the correct bounce back, and put the whole thing back
together. You now have a high quality, good looking decora
rocker switch, that can be used for an x-10 3way circuit,
or a momentary contact application.
Interesting solution. When you say "ordinary decora style switch" I wonder if any or all brands have the recessed hole you mention? Do you have experience with any particular brand/s.
If a XPT1 switch could be modified this way this would work perfectly for my application.
