Well, an atx switch is not like a on/off. It just gets the momentary charge whe the button is depressed. So if you are planing on using the type of switches for lights in a house or similar type, then no, it won't work. I am not sure what type would be better to replace it, but what is wrong with a normal atx switch? You can use the same switch just place it in a different way than normal.

you will need a 'Momentary Contact - Normally Open' switch. they are available all over.
I have purchased # MPB-1B from allelectronics for 3.25 for 10 switches.
