CSS Bakelite Radio Dial Toggle Button

A bakelite rotary switch that turns 132° from OFF to ON, with a knurled grip, a chamfered pointer, engraved tick marks around the bezel, and a warm indicator lamp that fades up as the contact closes. Pure CSS: a checkbox holds the state and :has() drives the rotation.

How this works

The tick ring is one repeating-conic-gradient masked to an annulus, and the knurled grip is a second one masked to the knob's outer edge — two declarations for what would otherwise be dozens of elements:

.cb-44__ticks{
  background:repeating-conic-gradient(from -66deg,
    var(--tick) 0 .9deg, transparent .9deg 11deg);
  mask:radial-gradient(farthest-side, transparent 76%, #000 78%);
}

The rotation is a plain rotate on the knob with a spring easing, and the lamp brightens through the same state change so the visual and the semantic flip together:

.cb-44__switch:has(input:checked) .cb-44__knob{ rotate:132deg; }
.cb-44__switch:has(input:checked) .cb-44__lamp{ opacity:1; }

The input carries role="switch", so assistive tech announces "on/off" rather than "checked" — the right semantics for a power control. The bakelite itself is a dark brown base with a mottled two-blotch overlay and a tight specular ring, which is what distinguishes it from plain plastic.

Make it yours

  • Change the throw angle (132deg) and the tick offset (-66deg) together so the pointer lands on a tick.
  • Add positions by making it a radio group instead — one rotation value per option.
  • Recolour the lamp with --lamp: amber for tube gear, green for lab equipment.
  • Reduce the knurl frequency (11deg) for a coarser grip.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • role="switch" on a checkbox is correct and well-supported; do not add aria-checked as well — the checkbox already exposes it.
  • A rotating knob gives no textual state. The OFF/ON legend and the switch role are what make it accessible.
  • Keep the rotation under ~180° or users can't tell which way it turned.
  • Masked conic rings alias at small sizes; below 4rem, use fewer, thicker ticks.
  • The knob must not be the focus target — focus the label so the ring surrounds the whole control (as here).
