I’m looking for a Thread button or rotary encoder to control my smart lights, preferable under $15. It can be battery powered or wired. I have a border router across the house, within wifi range. Does anyone have any recommendations?

The only one that I'm aware of is the new BILRESA from Ikea. It's $9.99, so not much of a risk to try it out.
