Describe the feature you want

I need a very inuitive control of 5 axis, XYZ + 3 for tilting and rotating. It could be done with the 2 joysticks of a regular game controller and/or the inbuilt gyro sensor. So if you hold the game controller and rotate it to the left the R-Axis should also rotate left. Ideal would be a connection via bluetooth https://www.amazon.de/Diswoe-Wireless-Controller-Bluetooth-einstellbarem-schwarz-1/dp/B07TRQH45S/

Slightly off topic, but this is an excellent idea, and I will consider it for a gcode-only universal 3D printer UI I'm developing.

my 2 cents: at least Z and all the XY-tilting and Z-rotation with a controller should be part of open-source drone firmwares, e.g. Betaflight and alike. The XY controls might be easier to add there than trying to get tilting/rotations into Marlin - but I am not familiar with any code bases.
