Telegram uses the latter – on the send message text field for the mobile app, and on the list item on the sidebar for the desktop app.

It feels faster and snappier. I think it's a good UX if used correctly.

I don't understand.

It feels exactly the same, unless you're using dinosaur tech.

@Floydimus click means that you press and release the mouse button, down means you just press it

@iiii it doesn't depend on your hw, just your mouse and how fast you click it

@electrineer I am on mobile and all six buttons are behaving same.

@Floydimus do you use a mouse

@electrineer yes, but if you're clicking fast enough (as most people do) and your hardware does not cause huge lags, then it would be essentially the same

PS: I somewhat like the unintended feature of onClick, that you can "uncommit" your click if you release the pressed mouse button outside the button

@iiii thanks for your opinion :)

If you compare the Messenger mobile and desktop apps with Telegram mobile and desktop apps, you will get my point :D

@iiii if you have a slow machine, you won't notice the tens of milliseconds difference. You need a faster machine and screen to notice it feels more responsive.

The hardware lag of your old machine is much greater than the difference we're talking about here so it's insignificant to you.

@electrineer fair enough. but does anyone need that level of "lizard speed" response unless they are a twitch shooter professional?

@electrineer on phone? Not really.

@Floydimus If you hold a tap and do not release, 1st one will wait for you, second one will not.
Though in general case, both are same.

I'd even say 1st one lets you to stop the click by dragging the mouse away, so 1st one is better lol
