How do I get rid of the "snap action" in a microswitch

I want to be able to control the cross point contact without the snap action of a microswitch... the activation force of the switch doesnt really matter. the reason I want this is so that it speeds up the reaction time of rapid button presses.
For instance if you open a regular "levered" microswitch so that you can see mechanism inside you'll notice that if you push the plunger really slower snape action mechanism that occurs when the crosspoint contact connects to the bottom terminal. It also snaps back to the top terminal when you slowly release the plunger. Its that snapping mechanism that I'm trying to eliminate, and I need to figure out how to.
