I realize this post is old, but I just ran into the same problem. I like a lot of the suggestions here, but wanted to add one. make a "model" or "pattern" button. Then use that to make a mold and you cast cast as many as you want using resin or any cast-able material. also, I would be interested in seeing and hearing about the solution that you went with.
I am actually going to have a custom, injection molded rubber "button set" where the "brims" of the top hats all join together to make it a single piece for easy insertion of all buttons at once. The challenge will be selecting the right rubber that is hard enough, but not so hard as to make a single button press actuate more than the intended button.
here is a draft of the piece i will be using.
