What is this called? Or does it exist? A linear encoder as a slider button

Blitzschnitzel:
Hi,
I am looking for something like a linear potentiometer like they are used in DJ mixing desks. However, as a linear encoder. I know linear encoders exist for rail systems but does it exist for manual input?
Is there a name for it? Or does it exist at all?

Rerouter:
I would assume something very similar to electronic verniers, using capacitor sensor arrays to determine the absolute position.

RoGeorge:
A digital caliper would be a good candidate for a very precise linear encoder, and it has manual input.   :)

Blitzschnitzel:
Yes, that is true. But I am looking for something in a ready to use package. Similar to this:

I don't really want to bodge something together from an old Caliper. ;D

Rerouter:
you don't have to use an old vernier, they sell them as kits that are expected to bolt on to CNC axis's, just struggling to find the correct search term right now.
