Metahedron

Through the course of my career I discovered the curious phenomena of utilizing a Gibson's pickup selector as a rhythmic device. Shortly after demonstrating for a friend I had been made aware that the likes of Jimmy Page and Tom Morello had utilized it thusly as well. My fascination only grew of course, and I had still been developing technique around it until the ramifications to the toggle switch became more and more evident. The three way toggle is far from the most comfortable solution, it gradually loosens with great ease, and occasionally produces metal debris when played swiftly. This dissatisfaction seemed something I would simply have to tolerate until I discovered an example of Buckethead's use of a similar modification.

...regardless, this made the inconveniences of the toggle appear avoidable; which is why I am presently seeking an alternate solution. Does anyone have any recommendations?
My primary objectives are to have a switch that kills whatever configuration of pickups completely(as opposed to merely switching between a sounding pickup and a "killed" pickup)when engaged while requiring minimal effort to switch. Like Buckethead's it would be most convenient to have it release for me in some kind of spring mechanism. I would definitely be content with Buckethead's switch, if anyone could prescribe a manufacturer or distributor producing a similar item to me(though I suspect that to be unlikely).
