Interestingly enough, until a few decades ago cranks were used to control the acceleration and (electric) braking in trams, electric locomotives etc. (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fahrschalter#/media/Datei:Gmunden_GM10_Fahrschalter.jpg https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fahrschalter#/media/Datei:Gmun...). The rotation axis was vertical and not horizontal, and the feel and clicking noise of all the contacts opening and closing while you turn the crank would be lost, but still a Playdate would be great to simulate driving such a "classic" tram.
