They are 22 cents each here. I buy from mouser.com all the time - they have good products and fast shipping.

This is what you need to order the tact switch on MPC-2000 series:
Tact Switch 6*6mm 5mm Through Hole SPST-NO 50mA
A. It is 6mm by 6mm, and its height is 5mm.
B. SPST-N means Single Pole, Single Throw, Normally Open (most common type)
ALPS and OMRON make tact switches, and they are top brands. The one I got from seller was most likely generic brand, but it was fine, and so cheap. It was $1.00 for 15 switches, I ordered two bags, shipping was $2.50, so $4.50 for 30 tact switches.
MPC Stuff charges those tact switch for $8.00. with 8 bucks, I could've ordered 5 bags (75 switches) from the same seller.
I believe Radio Shack also carries the same switch, and it should be around 1 dollar each.
For the plastic switches, Those are strictly Akai parts, so I guess you have to go through MPC parts dealers.
