A weird knob on old MP3 players

[ppTRN]

Hi everyone,
does any of you know the name, or at least were to find this old mp3 selector knob? It might come very handy in one of my project but I had no luck finding it. Even something similar would do the job, but it seems they are disappered from the whole internet!


EDIT: FOUND IT!

I found these searching for "thumbwheel joystick":

They're probably expensive.

Other search terms that might prove to be fruitful:

- thumbwheel
- spring return (e.g. spring return potentiometer)
- rotary
- rocker (e.g. rocker switch)
- momentary (e.g. momentary rocker switch)
- potentiometer / joystick
