Not at all. Membrane switches ARE momentary. The reason I wanted to use
membrane switches is that I figured they would be more oil and chip
resistant.

The idea of of making my own did occur to me but I didn't think about it
all that much. Now that you mention it you could use some of the wide
flat PCB mount "tact" switches and just stick some kind of plastic
membrane over the top. Hmm, yeah, I think this could work!
