Skeuomorphism Style Switch Button In Pure CSS

Skeuomorphic design is a style of user interface that mimics the visual design elements of real-world objects.

One of the popular skeuomorphic design elements is the toggle behavior for buttons. In this tutorial, I will show you how to create a skeuomorphism-style glowing switch button using checkbox input and pure CSS.

How to use it:

1. Create a regular checkbox input for the switch button.

<input type="checkbox" name="">

2. The required CSS styles to transform the checkbox into a Skeuomorphism style switch button.
