It's funny because last night I was working on a friend computer with the "maya navigation mouse". I search in the pref. and as I couldn't remember where to find this "alternate mouse mapping" ( need more sleep or need more neurones, I don't know...)  I finished the work in maya mode...Such a pain !

PS : Remember to always keep some 3M in my pocket :-p )
