This is not to say what i have isn't good - in fact it is quite awesome in most regards - just that overall control could be improved upon.
How about adding some resistance (making it physically harder to twist, not electrical resistance) on your current twist throttle? I'm thinking that making it a little harder to twist will reduce that twitchiness, similar to how the steering control works on a Spektrum transmitter.

What about a thumb-style switch? While shopping for e-bikes, thumb and twist seem to be two main options. I know from riding my mountain bike (pedal only, no assist), I greatly prefer thumb gear changing exactly for the reason you state.

After thinking a bit more, do you think that adding more than 90* of twist action will cause excessive wrist articulation making it even harder to control?
