Physical remote control? (self.homeassistant)

Does anyone have any experience or recommendations for a physical remote control that can be used with HomeAssistant? I'm hoping to find a multi-button zigbee or wifi device that HA can recognize and allow me to configure buttons to HA automations.

I'm already using a couple single button devices that can be configured to perform different actions on single press, double press, and long press, but would love a single device with multiple buttons for some locations.

I have a couple of these: https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/devices/LKWSZ211.html

They're just OK. Single clicks work just fine, but double clicks have to be done very quickly or they register as single clicks. The button hold function is ridiculous and takes a full 4 seconds before transmitting. I've found no way of changing any of the button timings.

These work really well, but they're single button:
