My wife just got a brand new AeroGarden to grow herbs in. It has a multi-line B&W dot matrix screen on it.
There are hundreds of different ones available. Here's one as an example.

Both Lionel and MTH have become a victim of technology changes. Now I see in the MTH R&D therad where they are possibly making a WiFi DCS controller. I'm not sure I see the logic in going back to a hardware controller with how fast things change but I've been wrong before.
This is coming from someone that prefers a hardware remote over an app but I see the writing on the wall and know that the app is probably the best move forward. I do hope though that Lionel does make it able to be interfaced with a game controller like another poster has shown. Again someone else making the hardware.
A combined touch screen and physical key remote would fit the bill here nicely. The super common things like speed, horn, bell, and a D-pad or wheel/knob to select things in menus would probably work great.
