Looking for AV momentary switches that aren't the standard black or silver? Then check out places that sell vaping mod supplies! I grabbed an anodized red one and pure brass one from a website called dripp3d.com, but there are a lot of them out there to choose from, including some UK based ones.
They arrived just under 48 hours after I placed the order for them (they originated in Texas), and for $2 something shipping they were shipped in a sturdy box instead of a flexible envelop.
The red one is from a brand called Fat Daddy Vapes (on the website it was listed under FDV 12mm soft tactile switch), and came in anodized black, silver, red, copper, and brass. It goes for $3.75, has a 12mm body with a 14mm face (VERY important, since the SF switch holes have that exact hole and countersink(?) measurement), 9mm button face, and 12mm overall height.
The brass one didn't have a specific brand name I could see; it was simply listed as12mm flat brass push button. It's made from brass as opposed to colored like it, so it will develop a patina (which is what I wanted to match my screws I used in my saber) if not polished. It costs $4, has a 12mm body with a 16mm face (I was aware of this when I purchased it) and 10.8mm overall height.
Both switches require quite a bit of pressure to depress (if you've used the tactile switches that come with the Graflex 2.0 kit, they're like that) compared to other momentary switches I've encountered. Combined with how the buttons are flush with the switch faces, there's no chance of accidental activation when handling your saber. Because of this, there is a very faint click when they are depressed. Both switches are rated for 18VDC, so well within the parameters for a lightsaber application.
Cram fu practitioners rejoice!
These switches have a very small footprint inside the hilt, but don't expect to get the included nut on them. These are gonna have to be glued in.

With the o-rings:
I'm going to see if I can cut/sand down the excess face material off the brass one, otherwise I'll have to order the FDV anodized one and see if I can weather it somehow.
