I don't know if anyone is paying attention to this topic, but I did figure out how to solve this problem... When you choose "Properties" in the 3d Mouse Home, it chooses the last program you were in. So if you have KSP windowed or alt-tab out of it and click properties on that window, you'll get the profile for KSP. That part, I already knew. However, in the current version of the software, using the SpaceNavigator (not sure if the problem is the driver version or that I'm not using the SpaceMouse Pro), it doesn't give you the option to swap axes. But if you save your profile for KSP (personally, I need the sensitivity turned way down), then it will create a config file that you can then edit. And when you edit the config file, you can swap the axes. This file should be located at: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\3Dconnexion\3DxWare\Cfg\KSP.xml on Windows 7. This xml file consists of a bunch of Axis definitions. You just have to look for the one that says <ActionID>HIDMultiAxis_Ry</ActionID> under the <Input> tag, and change the corresponding <Output> tag to say <ActionID>HIDMultiAxis_Rz</ActionID>. Then find the one that says <ActionID>HIDMultiAxis_Rz</ActionID> under the <Input> tag, and change the corresponding <Output> tag to say <ActionID>HIDMultiAxis_Ry</ActionID>. Not too difficult. And it even seems to update in real-time, if you edit the xml file while you're playing.

I just got a SpaceNavigator too and am having some trouble. I think I can answer the first question - press Scroll Lock while flying to have the 3d mouse control flight instead of just the camera. Took me a while to find that. But I'm still having two problems: a) Roll and Yaw are swapped from how I would expect them to work. Twisting the 3d mouse causes the ship to tilt, while tilting causes the ship to twist. I see above that people are recommending using the advanced settings to remap roll and yaw, but I do not have those options. I have a much simplified properties dialog (there is an advanced settings button, but it just allows you to turn axes on or off, or invert them. It doesn't let you remap axes). Anyone know how to get the more advanced dialog? When I use the 3d mouse to move the camera in the VAB, I lose the ability to place parts. If I don't touch the 3d mouse, then I can use the regular mouse to place parts normally, but as soon as I touch the 3d mouse, clicking on a part in the VAB causes that part to show up somewhere in the building, and the part can't be moved - it's just stuck there. I have to exit the VAB and come back in order to build a ship.
