Description

Radio buttons are used when a list of two or more options are mutually exclusive, meaning the user must select only one option.

Behaviour

When the radio buttons are focused on, it is possible to change selection with the arrow keys. If it is disabled, the cursor will indicate that the selection cannot be made.

...

Usage & Behavior

Use radio buttons to select a single option from a list, while exposing all available options.

General guidelines

Only one option can be selected in a group of radio buttons.
One option must always be selected.

Structure

A radio button consists of:

A label describing the option
A corresponding radio button

Interaction

The user clicks a radio button to select the related option. This deselects the previously-selected option.
Clicking an option which is already selected does not deselect it, but clicking a different option transfers the selection to that option.
The radio can be selected by clicking on either the button or the label.
The radio will have a hover state when hovering over either the button or the label.
The radio will have an active state during the action of clicking either the button or the label.

Best practices

Use:

to select a single option from a list, while exposing all available options

Do not Use:

where there is a need to allow the user to make multiple selections → use Checkboxes, because radio buttons only allow single-selection.
where there is a need to present more than 8 options → use a Drop-down Menu.
where the default option is recommended for most users in most situations. Consider a Drop-down Menu instead, which uses less space by not immediately showing all options.
where there are only two mutually exclusive options. Combine them into a single Checkbox or Switch. For example, use a checkbox for “I agree” (e.g. to terms and conditions) instead of two radio buttons for “I agree” and “I don’t agree”.
where the options are numbers with fixed steps → use a Slider.

General

List options in a logical order:
- Most likely to least likely to be selected.
- Simplest to most complex operation.
- Least to most risk.
Make one
Make the most likely or convenient radio button option the default.
Select the safest, most secure, and private options first. If safety and security aren’t factors, select the most likely or convenient option.If you need to have an unselected state, add a radio button with a None option
If no default exists, or unselected state is required, include a None option.
If you can't have a comprehensive list of all possible options,
add
include an

additional Other
option
option.
Labels should be concise and provide context.

Try to avoid:

Putting
putting things in alphabetical order, because it is language dependent and not localizable.
Overlapping
overlapping choices
.
, e.g.

Select age: 0-20, 20-40
-
. What do you
pick
select if your age is 20?
Forgetting
forgetting to include choices. e.g. Select age: Below 20, Above 20 - What do you
pick
select if you are exactly 20?
