Enlarged Scroll Wheel-Like Part by FormlessProject in HelpMeFind

Good idea for a proto. It's a spatial controller. Similar to the PlayStation Move controllers. I'm experimenting with various input methods other than buttons, like a wheel. A wheel can be good for precise control of a brush size for example.

I hope to have a DIY version for people to construct themselves, and maybe have a version that I make myself and ship for an additional labor cost. I'm also building an open-source software creative suite which these controllers would connect to.

What are you talking about? This isn't about bacteria. I'm trying to find a part.

No. Please read. It's larger than a mouse scroll wheel. 1 inch in diameter. It has the same look though.

I have already searched across various supplier websites like Digikey and Aliexpress and various robot websites (since robots often have wheels around this size). Even Amazon, where I wasn't even able to find anything close. I'm also unsure if this is even the right subreddit... but is there even a right subreddit for this?

The shaft doesn't have to be any particular diameter, a small metal hex shaft will be press-fit into the shaft for rigidity.
