Wireless SmartHandController (ESP32 - SPP bluetooth)
You can get it a bit cheaper than that particular one. It is thick looking, but with a contoured 3d printed case you could improve the styling. The screen would be a bit small for my old eyes but youn

These look very similar to the "smoothies" that are sometimes fitted before the motor in 3d printers. Is it the same thing at the other end of the cable? Ant👣

You need someone with a lathe that has an electronic lead screw. They could cut them in steel for you. I hope you find them somehow. Ant👣
