I bought this same kind of thumb throttle and it lasted a few years, thats all they seem to last for.
The throttle prior to that got a bit of moisture/rain into the wiring/connector/throttle housing and turned it into an on/off situation like the situation below.

The one I am replacing it with, is the exact same and will fail the same way, I stole the new throttle from my e200 scooter and it looks to me as its on its way to fail in 8 months or so. I refuse to pay $20-25 to buy local, prefer to pay $10 to have delivered, but who knows of the wait time these days, its pretty random.
Yesterday, the green (sense) wire broke behind the throttle housing.
I clued in as the white throttle wires were supply juice for the 1 minute I troubleshot it.
An easy snip of the 3 wires, and the throttle is either on or off, either touch the green sense wire to the red +5v and 30 miles later get home.
That green sense wire broke off only because the wire exiting the throttle was in the way of changing rear gear to the position in which I like that throttle. I could have routed the throttle wire differently but I am lazy plus the throttle had short leads, again due to laziness.
I will learn one day, to not half ass every single thing with this ebike hobby.
I will buy 2 as posted, 2 old school with the wire plastic housing jetting off to the side, will get 1 half twist, 1 full twist and see if I like those (I doubt I will).
Magura style I will have to look into but its to expensive.
