Why is it raised at all? This should be a pinhole button
Because that is just one use of the Mode button. Pressing it changes what the port LEDs indicate, so cycling it lets you see status, speed, duplex, PoE status, etc. without having to connect to it. That isn't easy without a raised button. Clear could have been separated as a pinhole and that would have been fine, but this stupidly placed button would still have been useless this way anyway.
