Tattoo parlor foot pedals are rugged and cheap.  I had to swap out for a 
longer cord but the switch itself is rugged and not too hard to press.

All I have been able to find online are nurse call buttons – which I suppose would work but the big red cross on the button is off-putting, and because they are made for use in a hospital environment they are expensive.  Anyone suggest a source?
