We were unhappy with the quality and feel of existing products so developed our own through a new brand MAED.

If you haven't seen it already here is a full video on them:



They were designed and are manufactured right here in the UK.
Thanks Matt@Evolve I did see that video. Curious to hear as to what you were unhappy with on existing products that you wanted to / feel like you were able to improve on your product?

I thought I'd like the "carbon fiber" paddles in my car but they are junk plastic, basically. It bugs me that the paddles in my wife's Cayenne, of all things, are nice solid metal paddles. They don't click, but they do make a satisfying "thump" when you pull them.

I think I might be more ok with the click once I tune the transmission. Will seem more appropriate then.
