Was Crystal Castles' trackball mounted at an angle?

You guys know on Crystal Castles how the map is sort of setup at an angle?  Not quite 45* but close.  Well I'm wondering if the original trackball was also rotated at that same angle, so the X and Y axis followed the on screen maps correctly?  Anyone know?

Setting up my trackball (moveable base) at the regular x/y at 90 degrees felt good with the game play.  I tried (45 degree rotation) matching the x/y to the map and the feel of the game seems to be thrown off.  My guess is that the original is at the regular 90 degree set based on playability.
