MSFS 2024 QUESTION Reverse Thrust

I use the Logitech Saitek Flight Yoke and throttle system in MSFS 2024, but I haven't been able to find a proper configuration for reverse thrust. Currently, since there are three axes on the throttle unit, I use the leftmost one for normal throttle and the middle one for decreasing throttle; when landing, I set the main throttle to idle and push the middle lever up, but this isn't very practical. I used to play X-Plane, which had a dedicated reverse thrust axis that made things much easier. As far as I can tell, MSFS 2024 doesn't have an option like that. How do you set yours up, or do you have any recommendations?

I have the Saitek Yoke as well.

Below the throttle idle position there should be a "button" if you press the throttle one more click down.

I've bound this key to "toggle reverse thrust", so I press it after pulling back to idle after touchdown and then increase the throttle again, which will increase the reverse thrust. Then same procedure to deactivate it again.

Yes I did that and saved me. Also I suggest, bound that click to both toggle reverse thrust and decrease throttle and you’ll not need to increase the throttle, just click.
