So..if I am reading this right, in all the cases of this happening the paddle was smacked hard by a leg to cause the plastic to chip off?

Makes sense, you're replacing a plastic button that doesn't stick out at all that then connects into a plastic housing with a piece of pretty strong metal that is longer into the same plastic housing..if it gets hit hard enough and in the right way I absolutely see the plastic breaking, we know the aluminum isn't going to give while it is in a plastic setting - but you can be assured that plastic is.

I haven't got mine in yet but I will be interested to inspect myself. I don't see this as a problem for regular use though, only those times you manage to punch a paddle with way more than tap shift force or carelessly hitting your knee/leg on it.
