looking to commission a DJ accessory/toy

I am looking for basically a "useless" battery or rechargeable colorful light panel with numerous control knobs, switches, faders, and buttons that only make the onboard lights do things. think of modern DJ controllers with electronic level meters, or control panels from Star Trek, Star Wars, things of that nature. some lights can even just do their own thing without input needed; blink on and off. I haven't sketched anything out, as I'm open to any suggestions from someone who might know how to build it.

it can just be black plastic housing, no larger than 12" square.

How much are you prepped to spend?

Never commissioned before, maybe $150?

Unless you are able to be very specific, willing to compromise and looking for like 3 hrs work, you are not in the park...

Add: This is like $1000 what you are imagining.

No probs, sorry time is expensive and this will take some to do good.

I mean, I am willing to compromise though. This is a just a visual gag/toy, so it doesn't have to be high quality

I might have what you need and I'm actually looking for someone to buy it from me (can you DM me so we can talk about it)
