the felt is just so there is no clank/thud when the button reaches its full range of motion.

This is a photo of the mechanism on a conventional stud, when the toe stud is pressed, it meets resistance by a spring, and the main bowl comes into contact with the 2 metal forks, which connect to the 12V cables and send the required signal.

I don't have to do it the way it's done in the photo, just any switching method that can send that 12V signal. Has to travel at most 1-2 metres. In American the dimensions of the square frame are around 2 inches by 2 inches.
