Experimental · Original concept

Ratchet

A brass knob on a toothed rack. It resists between notches, then drops in with a click, a flick of the pawl and a pulse of vibration.

How to play

Drag the knob; it resists, then clicks into the next notch.

Keyboard

Tab to the slider, then ← → to step, PgUp PgDn to jump, Home End for the ends.

Under the surface

A native range input is the real control: it owns the value, the keyboard and what screen readers hear. Everything you see is drawn from it.

What it needs

No libraries, just HTML, CSS and JavaScript
Uses Web Audio, Vibration

The concept

What Ratchet really is.

A stepped slider that feels mechanical. It resists between notches, then drops into the next one with a click, a small vibration and a pawl animation.

Where to use it

5 real-world places this slider fits, from product UIs to marketing pages.

  1. 01

    Booking quantities

    Number of guests, tickets or rooms where every step should feel deliberate.

  2. 02

    Hardware product pages

    Showing a physical gear, zoom or torque setting.

  3. 03

    Games

    Crafting amounts, upgrade levels or difficulty notches.

  4. 04

    Accessibility settings

    Discrete levels where tactile feedback helps confirm a change.

  5. 05

    Kitchen and appliance apps

    Oven heat levels, grinder coarseness or blender speeds.
