Yeah I have it. I don't mind it at all, like it even! Small and thin, feels like a sports car s/wheel.

Thanks, Termie, that looks great to me, I like the s/wheel too and even more now that it's buttons. Nice interior!
So are the pads around the scroll wheels also real buttons now, just behind one single plastic pad, or are they still haptic with a click feedback and just embossings between the touch points to separate them better? I'm yet to see the new wheel in the flesh.
They're 'Haptic' the latest version are haptic with scroll wheels instead of haptic that you simply drag your finger up or down to increase/decrease volume or simply push the +/- part, they are 'OK' to use but the pre FL buttons were better............IMHO
They aren't haptic as I understand it. Haptic will go up / down with finger "movement" Vs now you have to actually press down on the button. Sliding your finger across the surface does nothing.

I've considered the control "haptic" also when you just tap the surface, just like typing on a smartphone. But anyway, if they have executed the steering wheel "buttons" using this tech so that you need to press the surface to reach the sensor and it gives you a click feedback, I think it's far better than what kind of haptic controls we have had on steering wheels before. If they don't register random hand movements over the surface as a command and you can place your finger on the right place before it picks a wrong command, I don't see much a problem anymore.
It does on the two centre sections like the volume one, just slide your finger up or down and the volume follows........... the rest do need a light 'push' but do not actually move they just click under your finger pressure
Guess you're having and thus talking about the "original" FL wheel with the sliders, not these scrolls?
These are relatively new, I sat in a showroom car in Berlin last week and it didn't have those yet.

As far as I can see the haptic buttons have gone but not replaced by individual buttons instead it is like a large plate that you tilt to each side and corner for the function. Not quite individual buttons but far better than haptic rubbish previously fitted
More black gloss, and on a high traffic area for fingers. The perfect match..!
I put a matte PPF on the gearbox section of my PFL when I got it. Not only protects the gloss underneath but it genuinely looks far better, IMO. Maybe someone will come up with a similar solution for the FL wheel...

I've never had that big problem with the high gloss black, when used right it looks ok and I don't tend to fumble around the surfaces so not much fingerprints either. But the one thing that has annoyed me all the time in 8Y's (and actually in my old Golf Mk 7.5, that didn't even have the piano black anywhere) is the glossy part on the door's side of the dash, at times it tends to reflect the sun so that I have to place my hand on the specific place on the wheel to block that. One thing I really appreciated in 8V was that there was absolutely nothing on the dash that could cause glares.
