We’ve got answers.

OEM paddle shifters are a compromise between cost and functionality – we offer full control and precision.

Here are the key differences:

  • Tactile Click (More Precise Shift Feel) – Thanks to the magnetic snap-action mechanism.

  • Better Feedback (Faster Response) – You get a real sense of gear changes, crucial for dynamic driving or track performance.

  • Premium Materials (Better Ergonomics & Finish) – CNC-milled, carbon fiber, anodized aluminum.

  • Style & Durability (Improved Grip & Aggressive Design) – CNC-milled parts made from high-quality materials ensure a more robust feel.

Who Is It For? For those who want to feel like they’re on a race track – even during everyday driving. 

It’s an excellent choice for drivers who seek greater control over their car, whether on the track or the road.

While they may look similar, paddle shifters for racing simulators and real cars differ in both functionality and construction.


Sim Racing Paddle Shifters:

  • Mounted on steering wheels from brands like Logitech, Fanatec, and Thrustmaster.

  • Made from lightweight yet durable materials – often with magnets for a realistic click.

  • Designed for immersion and quick response in racing games.

Car Paddle Shifters:
  • Custom-designed for specific car models and electronics.

  • Require precise installation (sometimes involving electronic modifications).

  • Directly impact real gearbox operation – meaning reliability and mechanical quality are crucial.

In short – sim racing is a simulation, while real cars require actual control. In both cases, magnetic paddles significantly enhance the driving experience.

Installing magnetic paddle shifters is easier than it seems – and in many cases, requires no car modifications.
Here’s a general installation guide:

Step 1:
Disconnect the car battery – safety first, then demount and unplug airbag.

Step 2:
Remove the original OEM paddles – they are usually attached with screws or clips. Basic tools like Torx keys or a small screwdriver are required.

Step 3:
Install the new magnetic paddles using the original mounting points or included adapters. Our paddles are CNC-milled for a perfect fit on compatible models.

Step 4:
Check if the mechanism works correctly – the click should be firm and responsive.

Step 5:
Plug and place the airbag and reconnect the car battery.

For specific models, we provide dedicated installation guides.

In most cases – absolutely. Magnetic paddle shifters provide a completely different driving experience compared to factory (OEM) paddles, which are often mass-produced from cheap materials with a weak or non-existent tactile click.

The differences are noticeable from the first use:

  • Feedback – Magnetic paddles offer a strong, springy click thanks to the snap-action mechanism, improving gear shift feel and making shifts more intuitive.

  • Precision – Instant response, no play or delay.

  • Material Quality – PowerPaddles shifters are made from CNC-milled aluminum and carbon fiber – a major upgrade from plastic OEM paddles.

  • Design – A sporty look and improved ergonomics tailored to the driver’s style.

If you value full control over your car, aesthetics, and a superior driving feel, magnetic paddle shifters are a great investment.

Upgrading to magnetic paddle shifters isn’t just about aesthetics – it’s a functional improvement in how you drive your car.
Well-designed paddle shifters enhance:

  • Driving Confidence – A distinct click provides instant feedback that the gear has changed.

  • Faster Response – Especially important during dynamic driving, where every second counts.

  • Durability – Our paddles are made from robust materials that won’t wear out after just a few months.

  • Better Car Connection – Drivers often say that after installing PowerPaddles, they truly “feel” their car.

This is a modification that combines technology, aesthetics, and emotion. A small upgrade that makes a big difference.
