That switch isn't draggable. It becomes a UX antipattern – a false affordance – if you can't swipe it on/off.

You know, I forgot that people actually drag these things. Now that you can't get with CSS, as far as I'm aware.

It's draggable for me (on Chrome).

Looking at the source itself, there's no way it's "draggable" unless you're just toggling it coincidentally with drag gestures. Perhaps your drags are just coinciding with the 0.3s ease animation, or we have a different expectation of what it means to drag a switch…in iOS, those types of switches will follow the finger's drag motion, not just be toggled by the existence of one.

I definitely didn't make it to be draggable. When I made it, I wasn't even thinking that people actually did that.

Confirming draggable for me too. Chrome version 28.0.1500.95 on Fedora Linux 17. It probably means nothing at all but it only works if my cursor stays on the "label" bit. If I move the cursor up or down off the label while dragging it snaps to whichever option is closest

* Missed the bit where I can drag it halfway one way and then back to the original position
