27 CSS Button Click Effects
Provide immediate, tactile feedback with these CSS Button Click Effect Examples. The key to these interactions is the :active pseudo-class, which applies styles only during the moment a button is pressed. Explore classic press-down effects, where transform: translateY() and a modified box-shadow create a satisfying physical motion. For more dynamic feedback, discover ripple effects created with a rapidly scaling and fading pseudo-element. A smooth transition ensures these animations feel fluid and responsive, instantly confirming the user’s action without any JavaScript.

CSS Rage Button
A playful button that shakes, reddens, and “curses” with increasing intensity upon each click (or hover for the secondary button), visualizing a gradual loss of composure.
Neomorphic Button
A striking button with a neomorphic design and a pulsating element, built using pure CSS variables and pseudo-elements. The hover and active state animations provide a smooth UX, making it perfect for drawing attention to key CTAs.
Gummy Buttons
A “gummy” button animation in pure CSS, where the effect is achieved by simultaneously animating transform: scale() and border-radius. Separate @keyframes are used for the :hover and :active states, creating a unique tactile response.
CSS Gradient Button
A multi-layered button where the background, border, and pseudo-elements are styled with different linear-gradients. A SCSS mixin, @mixin buttonLayer, is used for reusing the styles of the pseudo-elements.
