## JavaScript
```js
/* No JavaScript — :checked drives the track colour and the thumb's translateX. */
```

How this works

The control is a real <input type="checkbox"> visually hidden with an sr-only clip (never display:none), so Tab and Space still operate it and screen readers still announce it. The visible track and thumb are sibling elements the input paints via :checked.

When checked, the track background transitions colour and the thumb moves with transform: translateX() — a compositor-only property, so the animation never triggers layout reflow. The label text stays a plain sibling so the whole row is one large click target.

Focus is surfaced with input:focus-visible ~ .track, mirroring the hover affordance so keyboard-only users get an unmistakable ring.

Make it yours

  • Resize the whole switch by editing the --w / --h custom properties on the track.
  • Recolour the checked state via --on (used for both track fill and focus ring).
  • Change glide feel with the thumb's transition cubic-bezier.
  • Add an inline on/off text label by populating the thumb's ::before/::after.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • Never hide the input with display:none or visibility:hidden — it removes the element from the tab order. Use the sr-only clip shown here.
  • Drive the thumb with translateX, not left/margin, to stay off the layout thread.
  • Keep the track a real focusable target's sibling so :focus-visible can style it.

Floor set by oklch() as this demo is written. The core technique itself goes back further — Chrome 49+.

Sibling selectors, :checked and :focus-visible are universally supported. :focus-visible falls back to :focus in very old engines.
