> I'd be very surprised if it weren't possible to map the button to a key, provided you have enough keys on your keyboard that aren't already bound.
Everything can be bound to a key or keys.
The reason we often click/flip switches with the mouse in a virtual cockpit is partly the fun, but also it familiarizes you with the location of things in different cockpits. It also increases work load, especially during critical phases of flight such as landing/take off, making a slightly more realistic feeling simulation.
Just pressing a button on the keyboard doesn't achieve that, even if it results in the same thing happening to the model.
