We've fixed the issue on that. If you watch the video, you can actually HEAR the click now. I did see myself before how they had felt and their lack of "tactile feedback" as you said - we took that into consideration, didn't make the shift feel so "soft" and less spongey. Now you can actually feel the shift, and after pressing the paddles it snaps back into its original default position.

Currently, our other shifters have programmable preferences for those who wish to run a push /pull - up / down , or right side pull up shift, etc.
Out of box, our raptor paddle shifters will be right pull upshift and left pull downshift - I am unsure yet if we will be offering a user programmable way of programming the shifters but if there were anyone who wanted a pull/push up/down configuration, we could make that happen before shipment. However, we will know close to the date of release. We are expecting mid/late July! Possibly earlier.
Perfect! That's seems like the most logical way to set them up... can't wait to see the final product.

Curious as to how these would feel in the dirt and how they would take the abuse of the dirt. Would make changing gears through the whoop section outside Barstow easy.

Icon had these installed in their truck... I got to play with it a little.

Only thing I didn't like (and I hope they can add) is the lack of tactile feedback when you actually pull or push the lever. It's only spring tension, with no actual "click" or "notch" feel that most shifters have... so you're applying pressure to the paddle, but don't feel an actual engagement.

Seemed to work well, just "felt" odd not having any feedback.

We have been working very closely with Mastershift on this project since day one and have been providing them with what the Raptor community wants.

Thanks for improving the product, Matt!

Whatever the case, I can only use my left hand for a single paddle style shifting. I know I'm a special case basis in that aspect but it be great to have a single paddle on the left side for both operations, rather than two on each side of the wheel.......

I am Sold!

2 things :
price
black color option possibly?

The paddles come in brushed alluminum with black delrin housing. However, if you would like the paddles in black, it would be very easy to do so. The paddles detach from the housing with two screws and can easily be removed and painted without an issue, so you can paint them any color you want!

We will only be offering what we have in the current configuration, one on each side of the wheel but in the future we may consider other options.

On release, we will be offering the raptor rf paddles at $999 with free shipping to anywhere in the continental US!

I am in. Let's work that shipping deal out for us folks abroad though. We need a bone tossed our way every once in a while! Looking forward to placing the order.
