Thanks for the suggestions, but that requires mains power (as far as I can tell). I am looking for a hand held device.
The obvious option is an old smart phone or small Android tablet running one of the controller apps. I like Orange Squeeze on my phone. The principle things for me are drop-in charging dock (or wireless charging) and the ability to "lock it down" so that only I can install programs on it but others can use it. Presumably there is an "app for that" :) I would also prefer something more tablet sized as well, ideally a 7" - 9" screen. From further research since I posted it looks like I will have my work cut out regarding the charging dock or wireless charging. There are some rather clumsy wireless charging options for phones but the 2 amp charging requirements of most tablets make it more of a challenge. My Xperia Z3 Compact has a neat magnetic charging dock that uses external contacts on the phone - which would be ideal, but it looks like no other company has thought of doing something similar - and my budget is more in the £50 - £80 range. Gap in the market there...
