I ordered one of these
  http://r.ebay.com/wUk9wa
had to fool with it a bit to limit the amount of up down swing. its 
heavy and does not move around much.     the spring is strong so just 
resting foot on it wont actuate  but not hard to push, the spring is 
easy to change for lighter or heavier one. The other option I looked at 
were Tattoo foot switches.
