Measured entry

8bitcn-radio-group

radio-groupskeuomorphism

A pixel-styled wrapper around the shadcn radio group, shipped as a registry component with a retro font stylesheet. It uses Radix Radio Group primitives, Tailwind theme classes, class-variance-authority, the shadcn cn helper, and the existing shadcn base radio-group component.

Verdict

A sound niche choice for an established shadcn app: it built, mounted, stayed within its viewports, and raised no automated accessibility findings. It needs a shadcn-style setup, so treat it as a themed extension rather than a portable primitive.

Use it if

  • You need a keyboard-accessible single-choice control that fits an arcade or retro interface.
  • Your app already uses shadcn conventions, Tailwind theme tokens, and Radix primitives.
  • You want a square pixel marker while retaining the underlying Radix interaction model.

Skip it if

  • Your product uses a neutral or rounded design system where the pixel ornament would feel out of place.
  • You want a standalone component with no shadcn aliases, base component, or theme-token setup.
  • You cannot load the bundled Google font and do not want to replace that stylesheet dependency.
  • You need the smallest dependency footprint for a basic radio group.

In a non-shadcn project, add Tailwind with the expected theme tokens, configure the at-sign path alias, provide the cn utility and base shadcn radio-group component, and install the Radix radio primitive plus class-variance-authority. Copy the retro stylesheet and either allow its Google Fonts import or replace the font rule.
