A custom fabricated enclosure is going to be a lot more money than any off-the-shelf option. I once tried to have an enclosure fabbed that Hammond now makes (1590BX) and the price for one unit without any finish was $125.
And on the general subject of these tiny narrow aux switch options you need the baseplate to make the whole thing work. Otherwise you'll just kick the switch off the board every time you touch it.

This is my aux switch for mye Pitchfactor.
Made by Pladask, and modded by me.
Added a latch-switch(lower right corner) that does the same as the momentary-switch next to it.
Using it for the "Flex"-feature.

Dude... thank you!!! Never thought of Lowes for getting stuff like that.
I need something like that for a controller I made with a Makey Makey to control a Mobius.
Any coding/build details on that? I'd like Mobius and would love to build a controller to use with it.

Yeah I thought about that and considered welding a base plate to it, like the Barn to keep the aux switch stable.

Nothing special really, I made it like a year ago waiting to get the right enclosure but never found anything big enough, but now I can see the light.
Makey Makey makes everything easy because it has this socketed outputs for all of its keys (16 total I think), so you simply need to run a cable to your switches out of each output and ground them all. You could do the same with the board of a cheap USB keyboard, if you have the patience to strip down the lines... I was going to do that initially but I remembered I had that piece of useless but funny utility laying around =)
Coding was nothing special either, it's simply mapping in a headers file from what I recall, but of course you could do anything with it since it's just another arduino, I'd rather handle special functions with Mobius' scripts if I want to go crazy.

I wish the Pitchfactor had the Freeze function like the Timefactor has. That's the one thing I miss on my old Timefactor that I sold. If my Pitchfactor had the Freeze function I'd def keep it on my board.

Some algorithms have that feature, right?

H910/H949 only.
But similar stuff could be achieved mapping feedback of some delays to an expression pedal, just map it from desired initial value to almost 100.

Gonna agree with Baremountain that these seem pretty cheap to consider anything other than buying one from these people. Plus, glad to hear they're nice and it'd make me happy to support em. Plus they look good. I'll be getting one for my Space.
