I remember it on some gadget I used to have, can't remember what, but it was tiny, like the size of a small pea, on a rotating cylinder and you flicked the switch either left or right (or up/ down) to toggle but the switch would spring back to the middle.

I would like to track the specific switch down to use it in a project so would be greatfull for anyone who know's what it is...

 

Does it have to be exact?
C & K make small toggle switches with the same action.

How about this one?

The general case name for such a thing is an “ultraminiature center return thumb control joystick” or similar words.

Yes that's exactly what I was looking for! Thanks so much man, legendary.
