What's the proper term for a digital knob/click wheel?

[Rakehellion]

Like an iPod classic or the volume knob on your car stereo. It clicks as you turn the wheel and you can turn it in any direction indefinitely. I'm trying to find some of these on ebay for an electronic project but I don't know what to search for.
