Sixense uses the word "tilt" a lot. But I don't know if you understand it's correct meaning.
If I see "tilt left" does that mean Roll or Yaw? It should always mean Roll. But sometimes you have a picture that looks like Yaw.
Tilt means the Y axis moves towards the X-Z plane. It's an important distinction in real life because of gravity, and the tendency of things to slide off a tilted surface and for tilted objects to fall over, unlike when you turn them around without tilting. And it's important in motion control because "tilt sensors" rely on gravity to operate and thus can't measure anything except tilt (like the Wiimote).
Also you talk about tilting the Joystick sometimes, not just tilting the controller. That adds unnecessary confusion.
BTW, Google the word "tilt". No really, it's quite amusing. I did it by accident.
