Michael Matlak (xxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xx) does it with the =
buttons of a CR-8000 like this:

He cuts away the bottom plate of the original Cherry momentary switch, =
and removes the original contact and contact feather.
The takes an ALPS 12x12 momentary switch, as you are using for the =
606/303 On the round cap of the ALPS switch he places a Lego 1x1 brick =
(https://www.lego.com/service/bricks/5/2/4184022).
Now the original Cherry switch mechanism fits perfectly on this extended =
ALPS switch and the cap can be placed as again.

This should be applicable for the TR-808 switches too.
