This is not a matter of Quick Shift installation or function on the motorcycle.
I've driven a lot of motorcycles without this and now I got it on the purchase with MT10.
I have understood that it's just gonna gas and push the next gear .... but
I think it does not feel okay, do I have to take full throttle for it to work properly?
If I run as "normal" I think it feels harder than if I use clutch.
Should this be used when pressing and "pushing" at almost max to make it good.
Want the experts to explain when I'm going to use quick shift.
Absolutely no offence, just want to learn, and perhaps others with me.

Perhaps I should mention I have a 2017 with OEM quick shift!

To use it to best effect you should be ACCELERATING, it doesn't have to be wide-open throttle, just acceleration. It won't work very well at a steady speed, but manual shifting is clunky at a constant speed too. The effort shouldn't be any greater than if you are using the clutch, it should just click in to the next gear just like it normally would except it is much, much quicker. If I'm putt putting in traffic or in slower speed limit conditions in town I won't bother to use it as I have better feel with the manual clutch. I mainly use it for faster riding and accelerating with a clear road ahead and a speed limit of 55 mph or above. There is always a chance that the QS is defective, but most likely it is your technique. Play around with it.

The purpose of the quickshifter is to minimize the time off of the throttle when switching gears. In anything other than race use, there is little to no practical use for a quickshifter. You can accomplish almost the same effect with clutch less upshifting. However, with racing, the mere tenths of seconds can add up over laps and has practical use. Not to mention it's one less thing to focus on during the high stresses of racing. Since quickshifting is mostly for race applicating, it's usually applied at higher revs which is probably why it's smoother at higher revs then with lower RPMs
I'm not exactly sure about how much, if any, damage is caused by quickshifter or clutchless shifting. Seems to be pretty common understanding that you should not be doing either between first and second gear .

Thank you very much for the answers.
Maybe it's my old inverse movement with the throttle to let go of the gas when switching without clutch that sets it up.
Trying not to do it but the power of habit is great.
Then I have read here on the forum that Yamaha's original quick shifter is not the best.
Another thought is whether the chain's adjustment also affects, think it works better if it is tighter.
Should test further, proper throttle and determined with the left foot.

I have the Yamaha qs and it works flawlessly, it even works great on 1-2 shifts, the trick is do not back off the throttle, steady rate of acceleration is required. Doesn't Have to be hard acceleration, release of the throttle will result in ecm deactivation of qs.
