 Usecase: you want to make a `<Button>` that takes all the normal props of `<button>` and does extra stuff.

+Strategy: extend `React.ComponentProps<'button'>`
 
-Example:
+```tsx

+Why not `JSX.IntrinsicElements` or `React.[Element]HTMLAttributes` or `React.HTMLProps` or `React.HTMLAttributes`?
+
+</summary>
+
+### Using `JSX.IntrinsicElements` or `React.[Element]HTMLAttributes`
+
+There are at least 2 other equivalent ways to do this:
+
+```tsx
+// Method 1: JSX.IntrinsicElements
+type btnType = JSX.IntrinsicElements["button"]; // cannot inline or will error
+export interface ButtonProps extends btnType {} // etc
+
+// Method 2: React.[Element]HTMLAttributes
+export interface ButtonProps extends React.ButtonHTMLAttributes<HTMLButtonElement>
+```
+
+Looking at [the source for `ComponentProps`](https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/blob/f3134f4897c8473f590cbcdd5788da8d59796f45/types/react/index.d.ts#L821) shows that this is a clever wrapper for `JSX.IntrinsicElements`, whereas the second method relies on specialized interfaces with unfamiliar naming/capitalization.
+
+> Note: There are over 50 of these specialized interfaces available - look for `HTMLAttributes` in our [`@types/react` commentary](https://react-typescript-cheatsheet.netlify.app/docs/advanced/types_react_api#typesreact).
+
+Ultimately, [we picked the `ComponentProps` method](https://github.com/typescript-cheatsheets/react/pull/276/files) as it involves the least TS specific jargon and has the most ease of use. But you'll be fine with either of these methods if you prefer.
+
+### Definitely not `React.HTMLProps` or `React.HTMLAttributes`
+
+This is what happens when you use `React.HTMLProps`:
 
 ```tsx
 export interface ButtonProps extends React.HTMLProps<HTMLButtonElement> {
   specialProp: string;
-  type: "button" | "submit" | "reset"; // flaw of React.HTMLProps
 }
 export function Button(props: ButtonProps) {
   const { specialProp, ...rest } = props;
-  // do something with specialProp
+  // ERROR: Type 'string' is not assignable to type '"button" | "submit" | "reset" | undefined'.
   return <button {...rest} />;
 }
 ```
 
-## Wrapping/Mirroring a Component
+It infers a too-wide type of `string` for `type`, because it [uses `AllHTMLAttributes` under the hood](https://github.com/typescript-cheatsheets/react/issues/128#issuecomment-508103558).
+
+This is what happens when you use `React.HTMLAttributes`:
+
+```tsx
+export interface ButtonProps extends React.HTMLAttributes<HTMLButtonElement> {
+  /* etc */
+}
+// usage
+function App() {
+  // Property 'type' does not exist on type 'IntrinsicAttributes & ButtonProps'
+  return <Button type="submit"> text </Button>;
+}
+```
+
+</details>
+
+### Wrapping/Mirroring a Component
 
 Usecase: same as above, but for a React Component you don't have access to
 
 ```tsx
 const Box = (props: React.CSSProperties) => <div style={props} />;
