Liquid metal button

A WebGL liquid-chrome button in pill and orb shapes: a bevelled reflective rim with edge dispersion, a flowing dark face, hover bloom and a click ripple, with a CSS chrome fallback.

What it is for

Accessibility

  • Keyboard. Components in the kit are written to be reached and used with the keyboard. Try it: press Tab inside the preview.
  • Reduced motion. With prefers-reduced-motion on, animation settles to its finished state at once.
  • Touch. Pointer-follow effects are skipped on touch screens; controls stay finger-sized.
