A light source is positioned beneath the transparent button cap. A graphical printed pattern is positioned with respect to the light source and the one-way mirror film such that when the light source is active the printed pattern is visible through the one-way mirror film, and when the light source is off the printed pattern is not visible and the transparent button cap has a mirror appearance.
