This topic describes best practices for pointer animations.
Appropriate use of pointer animations
When you use a pointer up animation, be sure to trigger the animation immediately when the user releases the tap or click. It is critical that the pointer up animation appears quickly. This provides instant feedback to the user that their action has been recognized, even if the action triggered by the tap or click (such as navigating to a new page) is slower to respond.
