Someone else here suggested the Ultimate9 evcX X401 throttle controller and I installed one a couple of days ago, it definitely works with a wide range of adjustment. This is the step up from the model you listed (EVC401) which would work as well.

Still playing with the settings, this one works from the buttons or connects to a easy to use app via Bluetooth. Relatively easy to install, remove single bolt at base of throttle pedal, remove connector at rear of pedal assembly (would be difficult for the big fingered), insert new control unit and run cable to mini head unit.

I got my unit from 4X4 Mods Australia for a good price and they delivered quickly:

Here is a pic of the control unit, it is tiny (apologies for the dodgy pic)View attachment 7833442

Mate, I was wondering where you connected the USB cable to? Looks neat
With the connection on the left. Cheers.

The headunit plugs into the EVC controller harness, which is hidden away.

The USB cable is routed from the head unit, then tucked behind the trim and down to the actual controller which is stashed adjacent to the base of the "loud" pedal. I secured the head unit to the trim with a small rare earth magnet which in turn is attached with double-sided tape. The USB cable disappears inside the fuse flap below the steering wheel. I adjust the head unit only rarely. If I leave the vehicle for an extended time, I have the option to remove the head unit, hide the short length of usb cable behind the fuse flap and there's no immediate visual evidence of the device being fitted. The head unit is not required for the controller to operate or be adjusted. The latter is then achieved via the blue tooth phone app. Factory settings when in for service . "Lock" if left in a questionable car park...

I added a link to this over at Resources for installing the controller and routing the cables.
