Ah, I didn't realize you started there for weight/balance reasons. I thought it was just someone's preference. Definitely don't change it then. That mouse trick is nice.
I wonder if it is really that hard to see the compass in the real plane. Maybe so, but combined with the small size and the various reasons why it's hard to make out the magnetic compass in FG even at regular size I have to think maybe it's extra-difficult.
