I did mine recently. I agree, it was a right pain to swap them over. Much prefer the F3x steering wheels to work on

I went for Silver Paddles...

Link here:

https://a.aliexpress.com/_mrA5iQV

Fit is perfect, no issues.

There's a few different ones on that site from different sellers. Make sure you go for one that has free shipping.

That's the direct link to the ones I purchased.

I didn't spot the + - is now different... Looks like they have changed them. I ordered mine back in October 2020.

Here's another link similar to mine:
