I use keyboard and mouse. Unlike touchscreens, these always work reliably.
And if you're using animations as indications of correctly functioning hardware, why not just use useful work as the indication instead?

- mrob 1y agoNone of the animations described in the article are of this type. Opening a text input area or changing desktop should be instant on all modern hardware. If you genuinely have something that can't be accomplished within one frame it's acceptable to display a progress bar, but I don't consider progress bars to be a "UI animations".
