I think another reason I gravitate to the standard G1000 controls is that they're right in front of me on the PFD. I do use the keypad for entering waypoints since that's way easier than using the FMS knobs. Since I started in a plane that didn't have that, I'm used to using the standard G1000 controls for frequencies and squawk codes. The main difference with Perspective is the Garmin Control Unit (GCU), which gives you the alphanumeric keypad for entering waypoints, radio frequencies, squawk codes, etc.

I started in a Cessna 172 with G1000 which is why my setup is very Cessna-like, but it's also much harder to find SR20 style simulator hardware. Many flights I don’t even turn on my iPad & Foreflight while in the air. Once you get past the basics, there’s lots more. While in the air, you concentrate on the flying and will be able to access the myriad of data from the G1000 quickly and directly.
If you can find a ground power supply like a Start Pac, practice turning knobs and operate your plane’s G1000 while on the ramp or hangar.

Learn how to turn the knobs and find all this stuff and know where and which page they’re on and be able to go right to it. Learn how to find metars, airport data & ATC frequencies, flight plan input, top of descent, and map and XM weather display operations.
The version of my G1000 is the earliest (with the KAP-140 autopilot), so I found an early edition of Trescott’s book on eBay. The G1000 offers a lot and the knobs and the information they get to is best learned on the ground. A relatively low time VFR pilot learning the utility of the G1000 is all about muscle memory.
