Switch

An on/off toggle for instant settings — notifications, dark mode, feature flags — with the neobrutalist borders-and-shadows treatment.

import { Label } from "@/components/ui/label"
import { Switch } from "@/components/ui/switch"

The switch is a two-state toggle — on or off, applied the moment it flips, no submit button. Built on the Base UI Switch component and styled to the neobrutalist recipe: thick borders, hard shadows, and bold type.

Reach for it when:

  • Settings panels — notifications, dark mode, autoplay: preferences that take effect immediately.
  • Feature flags — enable a beta feature or flip between monthly and yearly billing.
  • Per-row controls — activate or pause items in a table or list without opening a form.

Accessibility

The switch follows the WAI-ARIA Switch pattern: it renders a real button with role="switch" and aria-checked, plus a hidden input so the value submits with a surrounding form.

Keyboard interactions:

KeyAction
Tab / Shift + TabMove focus to / away from the switch
SpaceToggle the switch
EnterToggle the switch
