I need some thin momentary switches, preferably with small measurements such as 1cm x 1cm, or 2cm x .5cm, etc, but the most important thing is for it to be thin.
I have seen pleny of micro switches around that are about 50mm x 50mm and about 5mm thin, but they are too small and a little thick.

I'm thinking something 3mm or even thinner if it exists?

I would settle for something that is around 100mm x 100mm x 5mm thin tho.

I might have to make them myself, but i'd much rather buy them ready made.
And they only have to handle around 50ma.

Thanks for any help on where to find something like this :)
 

You might try membrane keypads. You can make them by arranging a spacer and a flexible board on top of a PCB. Thickness can be less than one or two mm.

Manufactured versions come with flexible pigtails and an adhesive back, ready to be stuck on.
