Is there a switch controller that triggers by tap rather than a button?

Is there a switch controller out there that triggers on tap rather than having to depress a button? Doing accurate tap tempos is hard, at least for me, if I have to press a button. I'm also thinking of its use with Ableton Live, to keep it locked or correct tempos. I'm using LF+12+ and have an external switch button style for this. But because of this it's kind of kludgey. I hope that makes sense.
 
try the Boss FS-6

it has a very small travel, can be latching or momentary and are also very low to the ground
so I could imagine them being good for this sort of thing

or alternatively it's smaller brother the FS-5
the FS-5L is latching
the FS-5U is momentary
 
I'd have thought so..
I guess you could check the MFC config to see what the tap switch is setup like
 
Latching works fine for tap tempo. With a non-latching switch, you have to tap in at half rhythm.
 
Don't get the Boss. Unreliable and easily broken. I threw mine away and got a Mission TT. Its tiny, built like a tank, virtually silent and dead accurate.
