This interactivity definitely adds a wow effect.
In a hilarious turn of fate, on iOS safari the first time one of the radio options is clicked after loading, the css focus style is applied, but a click is not always registered so the radio item ends up stuck in an invalid weird-looking state. I highly doubt the issue would occur if the built in radio were being used
Is it sarcastic or does it appear only on high frame rate devices? To me it simply feels like another radio button.
