Just remembered these. Have you looked at something like the Omron A8G? Digikey has them from around $9/per for the SPST or $12/per for the DPDT. They're pretty cool as I'm sure a decent control circuit can be constructed around them or maybe an MCU with a few NPN's in the mix can do the trick. It's worth a look anyways.

I'm sure other manufacturers make something similar for cheaper and places like Ali-Baba and eBay will probably have them as well. I came across the Omrons on one of my quests, kept a mental note, and haven't really dug any deeper into it. Good thing I thought to download one of the datasheets because I wouldn't have remembered how I found them. :)

I looked a little today but couldnt find any momentary toggle switches like I assume you want.  Found plenty of non momentary toogle switches that would fit the bill.  Ill looking again when I have access to my laptop in about an hour.

Momentary toggles are dime a dozen. Ganged linked toggles not so much.
