Bump or Dip

Hi, I having trouble figuring out how to create keyboard keys like Dip or monitor screen like Bump. When I try, I am not able to produce perfectly smooth curves. First I tried creating a loop cut on a cube and then pulling or pushing it down. But the whole cube is being affected in that case, not dip or bump along the loop cut edge ( I selected only one ).

My current method is cutting the cube with a cylinder. It works, but far from a perfect solution. Any tips will be great. Thanks.

When I use Proportional Editing, the pulling or pushing of loop cuts works without much damage.

make a curve outline curve to mesh, gridfill, proportional edit, then select border and scale to 0.

Hope that helps
