1. A method of operating a surgical robot or surgical simulator, the method comprising:
receiving, with a processing unit, a rotation of an input device of a robotic surgical system about a first axis of rotation; and
scaling the rotation of the input device to a rotation of a representation of a tool on a display device about a first axis of movement, the processing unit down scaling rotation of the input device when the input device is moved away from an aligned configuration to realign the input device with the representation of a tool until the input device is within a predetermined offset with the representation of a tool about the first axis of rotation.
