    Too uneven. On a video someone made it is like a bump that sticks out to push something behind the button.

    Most likely it is just a hidden good luck symbol from whatever Asian country made the part.

      LG would be South Korea. Maybe it contacts tracks on PCB below and it’s some kind of semi-conductive rubber

          This, it’s called a manja. You’ll go hike to a Buddhist shrine in the mountains and the place is covered in swastikas.

        Perhaps not. The company’s full name isn’t lg. It’s Lucky Goldstar. It would fit with the name and Asian culture in general.

      Is that’s the case then usually those are + symbol shaped. But adding additional fins in the end would distribute force more evenly, and make it slightly stronger and less prone to breaking. Easy and cheap fix if that part was breaking more than an acceptable amount.
