What I'm going to try to implement is as follows:

• Left / right / forward / backwards translations controls the cursor position.
• Height controls a cursor speed multiplier. 
  • When translated, the cursor moves faster or slower dependent on how much the cylinder is lifted / lowered respectively.
• Rotate (like a dial) to scroll. Specifically, "ultra-high precision scroll" such as the scrolling from a Windows precision touchpad, not the dedent-like default scroll.
  • Looking at the Windows documentation, I believe RAWMOUSE would achieve this.
• Tilt backwards = left click and tilt forward = right click. 
  • Ideally, this would be implemented as an angle and magnitude so that more mouse/keyboard events can be added in the future. For example:
    • Right-button-down event when -20 < Tilt_Angle <= 20 AND Tilt_Magnitude > 200 AND another virtual tilt button isn’t already active
    • Right-button-up event when Tilt_Magnitude <= 200
