I am trying to make a symbol for a "twisted product". I've tried stackrel:
$A mathbinstackrelsimtimes B$
but the sim floats too high above the times, causing unpleasant line spacing. I've also tried widetilde
$A mathbinwidetildetimes B$
but it has the same problem. Ideally I'd like the tilde to have the same width as the times and for the spacing between the two to be pretty tight.

Detexify didn't help, so maybe you really have to do it yourself:
newcommandsimtimesmathbin%
stackrelsimsmashtimesrule0pt0.9ex%
Adjust the 0.9ex

For slightly improved spacing displayed and inline, you can use ooalign
. The code is
newcommandtwprodmathbin%
ooalignraise1.15exhbox$scriptstylesim$crhidewidth$times$hidewidthcr%
If you will ever use the symbol in a subscript or superscript, mathchoice
allows for greatly improved spacing in scriptstyle. The height of the sim
is easily adjustable by changing the 1.15ex
for display and inline, .85ex
for script and (though I can't imagine using it) .65ex
for scriptscript.

The macro xmathpalette
is an extension of mathpalette
that makes also the font in the current style (textfont

or scriptscriptfont
). In this case we use it to access the x-height of the symbol font for the current style.
