22mm mounting hole = 0.86"
Not sure if it's a momentary or push-on/push-off switch either.

There has to be more out there.

EDIT: Nevermind, reviews make it sound like it's definitely a switch.

Well they do make these also but the problem I think I see is the button bezels.  It makes the total diameter too big.  Would it be possible to run an led to inside the current button to try to light it?
