While I was designing a small PCB I was looking for a small smd push button, like those that are usually mounted on most MCU dev boards (arduino kind) as reset buttons.
Well, I thought "there is for sure some standard for this". Couldn't be more wrong, as it seems.
So my idea is: Is there any "multipurpose footprint" which can be used for a bunch of those pushbuttons (in the range of 3 by 2 mm, +1mm in both directions), so that there is no need to edit the PCB any time there has to be placed another type of button?
Best I found so far is this:

Even better would be a footprint which is usable for different manufacturers.
Any hints or solutions for that approach?
