I have not, but I just wanted to tag @knucklehead in this thread because I believe I remember him asking about black footwitches a while back.

Are these black and gold switches sized for the breakout PCBs?

The site says it's the same footprint as their red ones, so they should. I ordered a black and a gold one, but my snail mail orders have taken a month recently, so someone will probably be able to confirm before me.

Not sure about the Tayda ones, but the gold ones from LMS fit.

I use the blue ones from Tayda. Presumably they're the same thing apart from the colour, the specs read the same to my sleep deprived eye.

Does anyone have a good source for black plastic or metal washers that would work to replace the white nylon washer on these?

I really dislike those nylon washers and always change them out.
LMS has these little metal washers, but they aren't black. I'm sure you could paint them though:

The soft click footswitch they sell comes with that washer standard:

Perfect for those who prefer a high-quality, soft click 3PDT. Our pro 3PDT latched foot switch features a feather-soft click and high-temperature epoxy.

And if you're looking for something a little different they sell these nuts, which I really like:

I don't use the plastic washers. Just the nut

You can just not use the plastic washer, the black 3pdt comes with a slim black metal washer (according to the second pic on the product page).
Tayda also have these nuts now, but not the black one.
