Implementation notes

About the Floating Pill CSS button

Floating Pill uses visible depth and press feedback that makes interaction feel physical. Its pill silhouette makes the label easy to scan in compact layouts. Interaction feedback comes from a 250ms hover lift. The interaction stays intentionally restrained.

Usage

<button class="btn-floating-pill">Button</button>

Pair it with the CSS tab above — the class is self-contained.

Before shipping: keep the semantic button element, verify contrast on your actual background and add a visible:focus-visible state. If you retain motion, include a prefers-reduced-motion override.

Built with: HTML + plain CSS
