Default Hand control back buttons

So today I was replacing handlebars and discovered grey button on the back of each hand control assembly. Any idea what it's for? Bike isn't assembled yet, so I can not push it and see what happens. LOL Both sides have it.

Off hand, I'd suspect brake and clutch switch, or perhaps bumpers.

Now that you mention it, yes it's clutch and brake switch. Learned something new.
