CSS Button Group Component (Segmented Radio-Like)

A segmented control built on real radio inputs, so arrow-key navigation, roving focus and form serialisation come from the platform rather than from JavaScript. A single sliding thumb tracks the checked segment via :has(), and the active label crosses over the thumb by inverting colour at the same moment.

How this works

Each segment is an <input type="radio"> visually hidden inside its <label>. That gives keyboard users the native radio behaviour — arrows move and select, Tab enters and leaves the group as one stop:

<label class="cb-08__seg">
  <input type="radio" name="cb-08-range" checked>
  <span>Week</span>
</label>

The thumb is one absolutely-positioned element sized to calc(100% / var(--n)). :has() reads which input is checked on the parent and translates the thumb by whole multiples of its own width, so adding a segment is a change to --n and one extra rule:

.cb-08__group:has(.cb-08__seg:nth-child(2) input:checked) .cb-08__thumb{ translate:100% 0; }
.cb-08__group:has(.cb-08__seg:nth-child(3) input:checked) .cb-08__thumb{ translate:200% 0; }

Focus is drawn on the label via :has(input:focus-visible), so the ring appears exactly where the visual control is even though the focused element is a hidden input. The thumb rides a spring easing built with linear(), which gives real overshoot that a cubic-bezier cannot.

Make it yours

  • Change the number of segments: update --n, add the label, add one :has() rule. Nothing else moves.
  • Swap the thumb for an underline (tabs) by setting its height:2px; top:auto; bottom:0; border-radius:0.
  • Use --thumb and --ink-on for brand colour; the inactive labels stay on --muted for hierarchy.
  • Set flex-direction:column on the group for a vertical filter list — change translate:100% 0 to 0 100%.
  • For icon + label segments, put both inside the <span>; the thumb sizing is fraction-based, not content-based.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • Do not hide the radio with display:none or visibility:hidden — it leaves the accessibility tree and stops being focusable. Use the clip-path visually-hidden pattern.
  • A segmented control is a radio group, not a set of buttons. If you build it from <button>s you must add role="radiogroup", aria-checked and hand-roll arrow keys.
  • :has() with nth-child counts all children — if you add a thumb element inside the group, its index shifts the labels (this demo puts the thumb first and offsets accordingly, so read the selector before reordering markup).
  • Percentage translate resolves against the thumb's own size, so the thumb must be exactly 100% / n wide or the segments drift.
  • Give the group a fieldset/legend or role="group" with aria-label in production — a bare radio set has no announced purpose.

Floor set by :has(), oklch(), color-mix() as this demo is written. The core technique itself goes back further — Chrome 105+.

:has() needs Chrome 105 / Safari 15.4 / Firefox 121 — without it the checked label still inverts via :checked and only the sliding thumb is lost. linear() easing needs Chrome 113 / Safari 17.2 / Firefox 112 and falls back to the declared cubic-bezier.
