The reason I said roll isn't counted is because I meant rolling the pen along the long axis (like the way it would roll off of a table)[1] - that I presume isn't being tracked? (If you hold its orientation and pressure and location of tip constant, but kind of roll it between your fingers, that wouldn't cause a detectable change would it?)

Is that what musesum meant though by 5 axes? namely x/y on the screen, pressure on the screen, and 2 of the 3 of pitch, roll, and yaw?....

translated to cartesian coordinates. position x, y; tilt x, y; and pressure. No yaw, which would be twisting the pencil.
