Long story short, thanks to I finally found a better configuration: HOSAM, stick on the left plus mouse. It means instead of yawing to turn - the technique used by many fellow players - I was always performing banking turns, like in conventional aircraft. I didn't like that at all, as I was always trying to fly spaceships like. With one exception: Q and E keys were not allowing me to control roll precisely in smaller ships it was almost like an immediate 90 degree rotation with the single hit of each key.

I'm mainly flying in decoupled mode and I found that mouse and WASD, QEAD & LShift, LControl, Space and Capslock (yep, that's a lot of fingers) are the best for me for both combat and dynamic flying in atmosphere and space. I used to be using Saitek X52 Pro HOTAS in conventional configuration /throttle on the left, stick on the right/, but I had serious problems with aiming - that's why I switched to kb+m. I've been flying with keyboard + mouse for almost two years in SC.
