Abstract: A button (70, 270, 370, 470) for a drug delivery device with a reduced operating loudness comprises a plate-like button body forming a touch surface (70b, 270b, 370b, 470b), wherein the plate-like button body is coupled by an axial supporting member (75, 275, 375, 475) to a noise-generating interface of the drug delivery device and movable into a longitudinal direction of the drug delivery device, wherein the plate-like button body comprises a material composite with at least one first component (271, 272, 371, 372, 373, 374, 471) consisting of a first material and at least one second component (278, 378, 478) consisting of a second material different from the first material, wherein the at least one first component (271, 272, 371, 372, 373, 374, 47) and the at least one second component (278, 378, 478) are coupled via at least one coupling plane (270d, 270e, 370d, 470d) that is at least sectionwise slanted or perpendicular to the longitudinal direction.
