css - How to reverse an animation on mouse out after hover

Question

So, it is possible to have reverse animation on mouse out such as:

.class{
   transform: rotate(0deg);

}
.class:hover{
   transform: rotate(360deg);
}

but, when using @keyframes animation, I couldn't get it to work, e.g:

.class{
   animation-name: out;
   animation-duration:2s;

}
.class:hover{
   animation-name: in;
   animation-duration:5s;
   animation-iteration-count:infinite;

}
@keyframe in{
    to {transform: rotate(360deg);}
}

@keyframe out{
    to {transform: rotate(0deg);}
}

What is the optimal solution, knowing that I'd need iterations and animation itself?

I think that if you have a to, you must use a from. I would think of something like :

@keyframe in {
    from: transform: rotate(0deg);
    to: transform: rotate(360deg);
}

@keyframe out {
    from: transform: rotate(360deg);
    to: transform: rotate(0deg);
}

Of course must have checked it already, but I found strange that you only use the transform property since CSS3 is not fully implemented everywhere. Maybe it would work better with the following considerations :

• Chrome uses @-webkit-keyframes, no particuliar version needed
• Safari uses @-webkit-keyframes since version 5+
• Firefox uses @keyframes since version 16 (v5-15 used @-moz-keyframes)
• Opera uses @-webkit-keyframes version 15-22 (only v12 used @-o-keyframes)
• Internet Explorer uses @keyframes since version 10+

EDIT :

I came up with that fiddle :

Using minimal code. Is it approaching what you were expecting ?
