Should I use radio buttons?
When should you use radio buttons or checkboxes? This relies entirely on what question you are asking. If you want your users to select multiple options, use checkboxes. If you want your users to select only one option, use radio buttons (or another alternative).
Why would you choose a radio button instead of a checkbox?
For example, you should use radio buttons when you want the user to be able to select only one option from the available choices. In contrast, if you're giving multiple selection choices to your users, you should use the checkboxes field.
Which key is used to choose the right radio button?
To Select a Check Box or Radio Button (Keyboard)
Press the Spacebar.
Should radio buttons be on the left or right?
While Microsoft and Apple aren't explicit on this issue, Java Swing Look and Feel Guidelines explicitly state that the label/value should be to the right of the control for languages read left to right. The same applies to radio buttons.
