What is this hole for at the bottom of this keyboard/mouse combo? (sh.itjust.works)

It's a Rii Mini Keyboard i4, and my concern is that it's a microphone. I just noticed the hole and think I'm probably wrong in what it is considering how big a deal it would be if it was a mic that isn't advertised.

What could this hole be for or what is it? Thanks in advance, hope this doesn't violate any rules.

I did too, and I couldn't see any sort of reset or anything, and I tried to identify the nearby chips online but couldn't. Injection molding would make sense. Thanks!

I'm curious, is that your first time noticing the hole?

As someone who stumbled on this thread from All,

is fantastic when taken out of context. Amigara fault stuff.

Lmao I hadn't considered that

Yes it is, it never registered with me that it was there until you pointed it out.

Had this thing for months and just noticed myself. A real good oh fuck moment kicked off
