Can anyone recommend some fairly small push buttons that I can mount to the outside of a case for a project?· Model numbers, links, etc are helpful.

    Check www.alliedelec.com or www.mouser.com. They have everything and are both great to do business with.

    I guess my question is more basic than what I originally asked: what sorts of specs do I need to adhere to when shopping for switches to use with my basic stamp projects?

    That all depends on what you are switching. If you are just switching logic levels then any switch will handle that and all you need to look for is the style and reliability you desire. And of course you need to know if you want normally open, normally closed, momentary, or alternating. If you are switching anything other than logic then you will need to make sure the switch capacity exceeds the amperage of the load. I personally prefer switches that offer some positive "feedback" rather than just a mushy pushbutton so you know you pressed it.
