</div>About VelvetTouch Input
VelvetTouch Input is a input field built with gradient fills and layered shadows. Its stylesheet runs to 64 lines across 10 rules, declaring 18 distinct properties. It styles hover and focus states explicitly, so the component responds to interaction rather than sitting still. Every format shown on this page is the same component, so you can take HTML, CSS and Tailwind depending on how your project is set up. Nothing is minified and nothing depends on a framework.
When to use
- Repeated use across a page, since there is no animation to become tiring when several appear together
- Palettes built around purple, burgundy and black, where this input field can be dropped in without retheming
- Places where one control is meant to be memorable, since 64 lines of CSS is a real investment for a single element
How it works
The base rule sets the shape with border-radius, display, margin and padding. The fill is a gradient rather than a flat colour, so it is a single background declaration with no image to load. State changes are eased with a transition, so hovering does not snap.
Accessibility
Built on a native <input> element, so keyboard focus and screen reader semantics work without extra attributes. Defines a focus style for keyboard navigation. Nothing in the source contradicts keyboard or screen reader use.
Browser support
Everything this component uses has been supported across browsers for years, so no fallback is needed.
