Thus far, I have purchased these products (among others), and they are all of excellent quality. I would give 5 stars to each of them.
microtivity IM211 Push-and-lock Button Switch (Pack of 8)
microtivity IM206 6x6x6mm Tact Switch (Pack of 12)
microtivity IM161 LCD Module 1602, White on Blue with Backlight
microtivity IL151 5mm Clear White LED w/ Resistors (Pack of 30)
microtivity IL182 5mm Assorted Clear LED w/ Resistors (4 Colors, Pack of 40)
microtivity IS112 7-segment LED Display, 1 Digit Red Common Anode (Pack of 4)
microtivity IS132 7-segment LED Display, 1 Digit Blue Common Anode (Pack of 4)
But, most important, I would also give 5 stars to Microtivity's customer service. Each time I needed additional information on a product, Microtivity would quickly reply providing the info I needed, be it by sending me a link to their own website (if available) or by writing an answer to my specific question. This is the kind of customer support that you don't see often, and it is most impressive when it comes from a relatively small company.
Because of the quality of both their products and customer assistance, I 100% recommend Microtivity as your seller.
I wired one up to my homemade snesberry pi (Rasp Pi in a Super Nintendo case) to actuate a reset command. It still works perfectly even though my 3 year old has probably clicked it thousands of times.

-----UPDATE, 2/17/2012-----
I thought I ought to clarify my review, to help people better understand my comments.
There are two types of "tact" (momentary push-button) switches: locking and non-locking.
The locking kind of switch gives a user the distinctive "double click" when pressed, like the push-button switch on a traditional Maglite flashlight. The switch is momentary, but locks in the "on" position, giving the user a closed circuit that stays closed until s/he pushes the button again.
The NON-locking kind of tact switch, as the name implies, does not lock in the "on" or "closed" position, so power will only flow as long as the user presses and holds the button down.
These Microtivity switches are NON-locking tact switches, but nowhere in the description does it say that. Further, other reviewer comments may lead folks to believe these are the locking kind, when they are not. Thus, you have my review.
On another note, I find these switches do not stay well-seated in the microtivity breadboards I ordered, especially after having moved the switches around a few times. I recommend you double check your layout prior to seating your switches to avoid this problem.
Good luck on your projects, and happy prototyping!
If you're planning to use these on an experimental / breadboard, you might have to straighten the pins first, but for prototyping and assembly they work great.
