Space Navigator's best use is for camming around in joystick flycam mode. When used that way the only thing it lacks is the ability to easily orbit around a selected avatar or object.
It work passably well for avatar control. Tho, probably not better than mouse keys. Without quite a bit of tweaking, it seems a little touchy.
IMO, totally useless for building. By the time you tweak it for precision, it's much too slow for macro uses.
It also seems to have some fatal flaws in vehicle control. (There's a jira for it.) For example, while (in most cases) you can lose altitude in a hover type plane by pushing the cap down, it's not possible to regain altitude by lifting the cap.
The only combat systems I'm familiar with, (not that I'm an expert) seem to involve holding down the left mouse button, and using the arrow keys to control animations. I'm pretty sure you could reprogram one of the two buttons to act as a mouse button, but I don't think there's any way to read a Space Navigator directly in LSL, or that it would look like a mouse to a combat system.
I'll try it tho and see if anything sticks.

You're lucky! This board only allows one helpful anser each week.
From here on out, it's all sniping and cruelty.

From here on out, it's all sniping and cruelty. Not just yet. I've used my SN for combat (well, practice) using the Samurai Island system. It works just dandy.
