MoveIt Noetic - Realtime Arm Servoing: Trying to fix broken tutorial

I'm trying to get a teleoperation demo on noetic and the ideal tutorial on MoveIt is broken. I'd like to try fixing and running it and hopefully then I'll submit a PR to update the tutorial.

Link to MoviIt: Realtime Arm Servoing

Errors solved so far:

  1. The files in packages mentioned in the launch files have changed name. I've listed the current and corrected names below:
  1. The listed controllers under switch controller are incorrect.
  1. There are issues in launching the Space mouse, which I will debug after teleop through the terminal is successful.

Help Needed:

  1. Any pointers to modifying or setting up a correct controller to make this teleop example work! It feels like I'm so close to getting it running but missing one step that might be obvious to someone more familiar with the workings or MoveIt.

(PS - I've followed install exactly as per the tutorial: Vanilla install of ROS noetic on Ubuntu 20.04, and "git clone -b 1.2.7 https://github.com/ros-industrial/universal_robot" with all dependencies)

Looks like on further inspection, my git clone was on the master branch and not 1.2.7. Thank you to the update to the readme that was done just two days ago which highlighted this to be checked.

I've still not yet gotten it working, but will do so and then update/delete/answer the question here.
