I appreciate that other people might feel differently, but if the cockpit animations are there, you can still see the switches moving... why do you need to click over them?
You don't NEED to click them in BS either. As in Falcon4 you can move any of the switches by mouse, but you can also map them to keys. And then, how many times do you inflight do the complete engine-startup, the activation of fuelpumps, radios, avionics, ejection-system and other subsystems, programming of ECm and flightpath, etc?
So, in the end you'll probably need the keys you have in LockOn now, for normal operation, but you CAN use the switches, too. It's not a must, but an offer.
