In Response To: Re: 747-400 CDU (Deya Motawie)

The CFI MCDU Keypads are the ones that Matt uses in his cockpit. To complete it, you would have to connect and program a keyboard encoder to the keypad, add a display (connected to a proper grafic card), add a power supply, and put everything together in a proper housing - not a plug-and-play solution, though.

The CFI keypad is of high durability polyester and of tactile membrane type, so it does not look and feel like the real one. See a detailed view, here.

For me the Engravity MCDU looks very close to the real one, only the keys on the keypad are of different material (rubber keys against plastic keys) and the display lacks of brightness and sharpness.
