## FAQ

### Do fast clicks on Type queue up?

No queue: every click restarts the 1.2 s run from the first frame. With reduced motion preferred, clicks still reach your onClick but the icon stays still.

### Should the Type icon be a <button>?

Put its events on a real button with the render prop: render={(events, icon) => <button aria-label="Type" {...events}><span {...icon} /></button>}. The animation itself stays aria-hidden.

### Can Type play on hover instead?

Yes: pass interaction="hover-replay". It then plays once on mouseenter unless reduced motion is preferred. Leaving does not stop it; entering during playback does not restart it.
