Through its surface, the Divot switch underscores the tactility of turning on the lights. The Divot’s face is made of repeating depressions, called peening when done at a smaller scale. This texture guides users to ergonomic contact points and communicates the switch’s use as a tactile object. Though the prototype is 3d-printed, its form emulates the requirements of injection moulding.
