Button with illumination ring

A hardware product comprising:

• a housing having an opening defined by a perimeter;
• a printed circuit board;
• a light-emitting component electrically coupled to the printed circuit board;
• and
• a button configured to be depressed along a depression axis and positioned within the opening, the button spaced from the perimeter of the opening within the housing by a first gap and a second gap immediately adjacent to the first gap, the first gap tapering to a minimum dimension where it meets the second gap, the button comprising:
• a first shot of material comprising a first material configured to disperse light and spaced from the perimeter of the opening by the first gap and the second gap;
• and
• a second shot of optically opaque material overlying the first shot of material and extending to the first gap so that light emitted by the light emitting component and dispersed through the first shot of material is projected only from the perimeter of the opening within the housing.
