I use a logitech G940, and using their gaming software, i have set up my HOTAS so the 4 way switch is the same as pressing the arrows keys on the keyboard.
The trigger is also the select button in menus, but i have spacebar as a secondary button press for menu selection.
This way i can still select things manually when I want to, but also, because I use an oculus, I can also look toward the left hand screen for docking and say "docking request" and it is set to press spacebar, down, spacebar, to select the station, down to select request docking, and then spacebar again to select.
