The carousel is fully usable with a keyboard input. Users can tab to the carousel, then move left and right with the left and right arrow keys. Focus indicators show which slide is selected. The carousel also works with a screen reader. Users can focus on the carousel and move left and right to select a slide. However, this behavior is described as radio buttons along with the associated alt text of the image, rather than as slides on the carousel. If a user has set their system preferences to say that they prefer reduced motion on the screen, the animation of looping through all images in the carousel doesn’t play.
