You should be able to use the GUI to map a SpaceMouse Compact button to the 'A' key.

The "GUI" is the "3Dconnexion Settings" program. To open it, search for "3Dconnexion Settings" in the Start menu or double-click on the driver system tray icon. The program can also be opened from the "3Dconnexion Home" panel.

Fine

My goal is to emit "A" key from my SpaceMouseCompactLeftButton anyway.

So,
I've tired like this;

GUI > Buttons > Left (and, click Drop down of right side of it) > Keyboard > and what ? there is no "A" ??
GUI > Buttons > Left (and, click Drop down of right side of it) > Macros > or something ?
Or and other way ?

ah..
I found a way using "Macros".

Is this the best way I could find from SpaceMouseCompact ?
I have double checked it at configuration ".xml" file.
It looks not so "the best way", I guess.
Is there any way like "KB_Tab" key ?
I mean, like a "KB_A" sometihg ?

OR
any tiny programs ? simple codes (written in C#) ? to check it out ?

I have skimmed your SDK, unfortunately, for me it looks like an Alien language. though I could handle elementary level of C# projects.

Go to the "Buttons" panel, click on the button your want to program and simply type the key. This generates a special macro that emulates a single key or keyboard shortcut (say, "Ctrl+A").

Don't click on the "flyout" arrow.

Just click in the input field of the button (to the left of the arrow) and then press the keyboard key you want to see emulated.

We have a user manual (a PDF document). You can open it by going into "3Dconnexion Settings" > More > Manuals.
