Bearing in mind you have a three way mode switch, the possibilities are endless. Also when you use the key assignments with in the sim itself it could not be easier. The best thing to do is go through the list, see what you like and could use and then find a button. However, don't make it to complex. You go away for a couple of weeks and spent the next session trying to remember what the commands you programmed are Just because you have 20 buttons, if you only need three to get the job done.........KISS..........keep it simple stupid

The vast majority of aircraft out there have a trim wheel on the panel or the center console (of course there are exceptions) so I would suggest you move your trim down to one of the toggles on your throttle quadrant, then flaps, then gear. perhaps the rocker on your left yoke instead of trim could be used to move veiw point (up and down or back and forward) assuming your not using trackir.
