Is it possible to fly a heavy by keyboard alone?

[slip-stream 5]

I, for instance, cannot fly properly using the mouse, joystick and rudder pedals, let alone the keyboard. I purchased the cpflight mcp and efis and also a FMC CDU to help me cope, and only just manage with this hardware.How on earth could anybody fly by keyboard alone? Then there is the problem flying in the VC. PMDG produce incredible VC's but how can you actually fly one in the VC. It is a nightmare.How do you cope?

Find me someone who is too cheap to buy a $20 joystick then turn around and spend $50-$60 on a complex 747 addon,few thousand on a computer that will run it and a $300 video card.
