I'm hunting for a PCB mount DPDT switch that's going to be internal on a verboard layout I'm doing.  I figured it would be easy to find something like this, but it's proven to be more difficult than I had originally planned.

I found this But I was hoping to find a switch that allowed me to cut an entire hole away on the trace.

What this is (X represents pin, O represents open point on the board):
OXXO

What I would like:
OXOXO

I can cut trace between two holes next to one and other, but it's easier if I didn't have to.  I wanted to ask the community if they've seen anything like what I'm looking for.

Thanks!

A quick follow up:  I purchased these switches from Mouser.  It turns out there is space between the two poles to drill out part of the trace!  So if you're looking for a veroboard pcb slide switch this one appears to be a good option.
