CSS Soft Pill Modern SaaS Button

The button a 2027 SaaS product ships: a soft pill with a true 1px gradient stroke drawn by mask-composite, an inner top-light, a spring lift on hover, a shortcut chip that dims as the arrow slides, and a focus ring that respects the pill's radius exactly.

How this works

A gradient border is impossible with border-color, so the stroke is a padded pseudo-element masked to a ring — the modern replacement for the old "two nested divs" hack:

.cb-32__btn::before{
  content:''; position:absolute; inset:0; border-radius:inherit; padding:1px;
  background:linear-gradient(160deg,var(--stroke-a),var(--stroke-b));
  -webkit-mask:linear-gradient(#000 0 0) content-box, linear-gradient(#000 0 0);
  mask:linear-gradient(#000 0 0) content-box, linear-gradient(#000 0 0);
  -webkit-mask-composite:xor; mask-composite:exclude;
}

The two mask layers — one clipped to the content box, one to the whole box — cancel out everywhere except the 1px padding ring. The hover uses a linear() spring so the lift overshoots by ~4% and settles, which is what makes it feel responsive rather than animated:

--spring:linear(0,.4 7%,.83 15%,1.06 23%,1.09 28%,1.03 37%,1 52%,1);
.cb-32__btn{ transition:translate .5s var(--spring), box-shadow .35s ease; }

The <kbd> chip is real markup, so the shortcut is discoverable by assistive tech, and it dims on hover while the arrow advances — a small hierarchy shift that tells you the pointer has taken over from the keyboard.

Make it yours

  • Change the stroke by editing --stroke-a/--stroke-b; a 20% lightness delta is enough to read as a bevel.
  • Swap the shortcut chip for a badge or count — it is a plain inline element.
  • Adjust --lift for hover travel; 2-3px is product-grade, 6px is marketing.
  • Drop the inner top-light (inset 0 1px 0) for a matte, Linear-style flat surface.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • mask-composite uses different keywords per engine: xor for -webkit-mask-composite, exclude for the standard property. Declare both.
  • The masked stroke sits on a pseudo-element, so anything else you put in ::before is gone. Use ::after for other decoration.
  • <kbd> inside a button is fine, but never make the chip a nested interactive element — buttons must not contain buttons.
  • Spring easings that overshoot on translate can cause a 1px shimmer on subpixel-rendered text; keep overshoot under 10%.
  • Focus rings on pills need outline-offset, not an inset shadow, or the radius mismatch shows at the ends.

Browser support

ChromeSafariFirefoxEdge
120+15.4+113+120+

mask-composite: Chrome 120 / Safari 15.4 (prefixed) / Firefox 53. linear() easing: Chrome 113 / Safari 17.2 / Firefox 112, with a cubic-bezier fallback declared first. Without mask support the stroke falls back to a flat 1px border.
