A date field made as a wooden perpetual calendar: two real cubes (0 to 5, and 0, 1, 2, 6, 7, 8 with the 6 turned for a 9) tumble to the day and hop over each other when the digits need swapping, and the month block rolls over.

Two native inputs with role="spinbutton": Day (1 to the month length) and Month (aria-valuetext gives its name). Arrow keys step, digits and month initials type, left and right move between them; the blocks are aria-hidden.
Reduced motion
Everything changes at once, without the motion.
Use it in anything you build, commercial and client work included. Licence
