What’s a “focus ring”?

When you use a keyboard (or a switch device) to navigate a page, one element is “focused” at a time. A focus ring is the visible outline that shows where you are.

If focus isn’t visible, keyboard navigation becomes guesswork — you can press keys and something happens, but you can’t reliably tell what will activate.

Quick test (takes 10 seconds)

  1. Open the micro-demo: focus-ring-demo.html
  2. Press Tab a few times.
  3. You should always be able to see which button is focused (a thick, high-contrast ring).

Tip: many sites accidentally hide focus by using outline: none;. This demo keeps focus visible on purpose.

Why it matters for game UI

Games increasingly ship UI that supports controller + keyboard + touch. A clear focus indicator helps more players: keyboard users, players using assistive tech, and anyone navigating quickly without a mouse.
