I did the CSOB version with the Sunrace lever. It has a hint of detent, but really moves like you describe.
It works great, you’re gonna like it. I used it a lot this summer and it’s really convenient.
Teraflex hand throttle adjustments

I installed the Tereflex kit and it's very smooth with infinite set ability, no complaints what so ever and I can use it like a cruise control on the highways clear up to around 4000 rpm if needed. You need to re-look at your install.
Same one I have via Teraflex. Feels great to me. Isn't this the one you pictured as well, Jerry?
If your shifter is indexed, which it sounds like it is by your description, then it’s not a friction shifter/in friction mode, and won’t be as easy to modulate, which is essentially why you want the friction shifter. Some shifters you can turn the little metal thing that’s in the center and it will switch from indexed shifting to friction shifting.
Don't do this!
Punching through the ice on the river and my throttle stayed at WOT..Yikes.
Left a loop on the hand throttle connection and here's the result. Hung up on spring.
Modified with loop (Edit: ring) terminal and it's fixed.

Can you post before and after pictures? Not sure exactly what you are talking about.
First pic is before. See the cable loop hooked on the throttle spring? That happened when using the pedal, not the hand throttle. It put slack in the HT cable enough to perfectly grab the spring end and stop the return action.
This pic is after, with ring terminal crimped on the HT cable.
ok, so just making the loop smaller to begin with (so it couldn't reach around the spring) would also prevent this, yes?
I've had a hand throttle in my Jeep parts bucket for almost a year.

Yes, I expect it would. Was going to do that post-failure but the pinch connector would be a bitch to remove so I just went with the ring terminal. I tested one with a scrap of cable, put the terminal in a vice and yanked it with pliers and it held so I'm pretty sure it will be fine as pictured. Was almost sure I'd end up cutting it too short..
but seem to have gotten it right.Another thing I noticed is my rear window wiper was on while on the trail. In 1st gear manual the HT handle activated the switch so I had to move it a bit.

Do you have or could you take a photo of what you did bringing the cable through the bracket? Instructions are garbage for those of us with cruise control.
Unibit with Vaseline on a paper towel underneath for shavings. 1/4" hole.. maybe.
MIne seems to be fine, but then I've not used it other than test a bit in the shop. Mine does not rebound when I let go of the handle. I think that function is adjustable with the little hook pin on the handle but I haven't messed with it. Figure I'll use it most for idling up for compressor or winch. Will try it on the trail when I eventually get my 5.13 broken in.
I've also considered another throttle return spring..
