Tactile
Markup where the component goes, CSS in your stylesheet, script before </body>. In Vue, Svelte or Angular, call initToggleTactile(el) on the mounted element instead.

Paste into Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor after filling in {{USER_STACK}}, {{USER_STYLING}} and {{USER_CONSTRAINTS}}. Neutral keeps the greys you see here; Match my project asks the model to map them onto your own colour tokens.

A switch built for the hand: a halo on hover, the thumb stretches as you press it, and you can drag it across with the track filling as you go; let go past halfway and it switches.

Accessibility
Keyboard and screen readers
A native checkbox with role="switch" inside a <label>, so Space toggles it and the visible text names it; :focus-visible on the input outlines the track, which is aria-hidden. A click, a tap or Space still toggles it, so dragging is an extra, never the only way. touch-action: pan-y keeps vertical page scrolling on touch.
Reduced motion
The thumb jumps.
Use it in anything you build, commercial and client work included. Licence
