Hows it work now with the paddles?

No its pretty much the same as the paddles, right side just had a push

Paddles you just tap them in and it does the same.

Thank you so much for your experience

Thanks guys, actually I am, the paddles have a great feel, and now you can actually use them while turning, before it was pretty trick to hit the switch while turning.
