I have a MS precision pro 2, and for my stick setup for views I set up 2 sticks in the stick map setup. Stick 1 is activated by button 3 (my default)and stick 2 is activated by button 4. Both buttons are on top of stick and next to each other.
Stick 1 has hat settings of 360 degrees on a horizontal plane. Stick 2 has hat settings for 360 degrees shaped like a cone, for viewing above one's position.
Therefore, while I am engaged I am able to switch to various views very quickly, by hitting button 3 or 4.
I hope that was on topic.
