Like bob says, do what you like, but I am a motorcycle person, so I like the
top button to shift UP below that one shift DOWN... I drive one handed a
lot, and I hate chasing the button around the wheel, so I prefer a shifter.
I have one, I just have not hooked it up in years... so your milage may
vary, depending on sim. If I was back into serious road courses type sim, I
get out my GPL shifter, other wise I just cycle up and down on shifter
buttons.
