just check ebay for the tactile switches. Lots of sellers with the size you need. I bought these and they work fine:

As for local places to get altoid tins, I guess it depends where you are...You can order them online too, but prices are higher usually. In Canada i've found peppermint ones at Shoppers Drug Mart. I've found the other types in some local Candy shops here too.

Same switches I purchased. And I buy my altoids at Kroger here in the states.

Well that seems fine but 7 dollars is the cheapest I found for a blue one and I think buying a lot is sort of wasteful I've seen lots of 3 but still that seems overpriced (Btw I included shipping)
