Default Add shift paddles to a wheel?

Looking at buying a used steering wheel but it doesn't have shift paddles as it was on a manual car. I have PDK. Is it possible to add these paddles? Not sure how hard it would be or if it's even possible.

Thanks!

Hrm.... I've heard of adding shift paddles to a multifunction steering wheel with the "sliders" but never adding paddles in general. I haven't seen that done before... but anything is possible if you spend enough money. Doubt it would be straightforward tho.

I have seen an aftermarket kit, but can't remember who offered it.
It was only slightly cheaper than buying a spanky brand new steering wheel with paddles

dont buy a non pdk wheel. you will probibly mess up the connections to the trans if you dont have the pdk shifters anymore. Just buy a pdk wheel with paddles if thats what you are trying to do

I have a PDK button wheel I will sell you super cheap!
Its sand beige.

I don't need it because I bought the paddle sport wheel.
Its been sitting in a box packed away taking up space and needs to go.

I'm not sure these are the cars to cheap out and DIY electronics on.. they sell ones that are made for the job you're trying to accomplish.
