Or, if you don't mind used stem, you can get them off something like this Chyron or 8200LAAUS. Taking switches from used boards is what I normally do, as it is usually much cheaper.

Do all the chyron boards have clears?

Yeah, I got a vintage Allen-Bradley keyboard on Friday.  Massive board.  Huge.  Heavy.  Mostly metal. 

And foam-and-foil switches, crappy caps that have stems break off upon removal about 50% of the time...

Ebay roulette - sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, lucky to just break even.

Worst part is whatever these switches are, they are actually nice feeling.
