Ditto here on old dictating machine switches. Mine is about 6x8, heavy metal,
rubber feet, and had a very smooth action. Besides the relay that closes when
depressing the pedal, it has one relay that "opens" during that depression.

I use an old dictating machine footswitch that I got for $10 at a local
consignment store. Nice and heavy, and it even has 3 separate switches,
though I have not figured out how to use that...
I put a strip of Velcro hooks on the bottom of the switch, and it stays
put absolutely on the Berber carpet in the shack.
