Orbweaver + SpaceNavigator controls

Tomorrow I'll take delivery of a Razer Orbweaver and a 3dconnexion SpaceNavigator. I've been working on a control layout...

... the SpaceNavigator has two buttons on it... Hopefully I can map one to the shift key, so I can have a secondary function on all the Orbweaver keys.

I have to take my hand off the joystick a bit to press the SpaceNavigator button, so I've made sure all the combat-critical buttons are on the standard non-shifted Orbweaver keys.

Comments?

The Space Navigator has outstanding built quality and is excellent for CAD and 3d moddeling software like 3dsmax, Maya, Blender, etc.

However, due to its very small range of deflection and the difficulty to cleanly operate more than one axis at once (causes a lot of crosstalk) it is not suited for 6DOF flight sims.

Well I know it's not ideal, but a joystick is too bulky and heavy to fit in my rucksack when I travel, so this will have to do!

Ok, under this circumstances it makes sense. I assumed that you would buy a Space Navigator instead of a HOTAS and rudder pedals.
