Are there any sub-$500 oscilloscopes that you know of which DO have hard, plastic, tactile, satisfying-to-press buttons?

Doubtful, since tactile buttons (in particular, the button caps themselves and the additional assembly cost) cost a lot more than rubber membrane buttons, so they’re kinda the first thing to go when cost-cutting...

Not all buttons need to be plastic nor do they want to be as it restricts the designers to not being able to use LED backlight to show certain modes are selected.
The flexible membrane buttons have proven to be very reliable in scopes.

I think you need get to a shop that has a few brands of scopes and have a play with a few in order to find one that gives you the physical feedback you seek.
Unusual request but ymmv.  :-//

You can have a look at scope which costs 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000 and beyond, you won´t find a scope without rubber keys and carbon contacts.
Last scopes I known were analog ones from the early 1990s, which used mechanical switches.
