One control scheme that's used nowadays is two joysticks, with one to control orientation (pitch/roll/yaw) and the other to control translation (up-down/left-right/forward-back). I usually map the left stick to translation, with twist working the up-down axis.
Takes a little getting used to, but is pretty intuitive, and gives nice smooth analogue axis for all 6DOF.

Feels weird at first though!! Controller prices were a premium back then so keeping two joysticks in good working order was uncommon if you played hard.
