Good day commanders, I thought I would share some of the tweaks I have made to my control setup which I find very useful.
I'm using a PS3 controller but this applies to Xbox as well. These changes are based on the non-yaw default.
Hope this helps!

- Left stick: Switch between roll and yaw. I find that when flying in space & docking I like my left stick to roll, as it's more natural for me to fly that way. However when dogfighting (and looting) I prefer having fine heading control. I bind the button on the left stick to switch between these modes.
- Space bar: Engage landing gear. I chose the space bar for this because I can hit it easily, without taking my hands off the pad if necessary. I like engaging my landing gear early because there is a delay before switching to the following mode:
- Landing mode: D-pad for horizontal thrust. There is an option to override the controls when the landing gear is deployed. In landing mode I have my D-pad bound to thrust left/right and forwards/backwards. This is brilliant for making fine adjustments in your docking procedure.
Hope this helps!
