I've had several different ***** over the years and like the current one best - a black leather and chrome one from Momo. Easy to install too, no adapter needed.

I have tried a bunch of ***** and I have to say that the metal one was a bear in the summer, It was very hot to the touch, I got rid of it in a week, I now have a plastic ball with the C5 emblem in it and works out great, As others have said, Get the adaptor and you can use any ****.

I have the MAM converter, but it seems too tall. I'm going to see if I can convert it some and shorten the overall length without destroying the functionality. More to follow.
