Might be, if you put it below a thick table plate.
Try this: rest your forearm flat on the table. What position does your hand take naturally? Slightly bent, to lay your fingers down flat you have to force them to do so.
I guess that was the theory behind it.
I have no pictures of such a desk, that was too long ago.
Looks like things have cooled off on this thread for the time being, so just a reminder on this last page that the Quick Summary Post for this thread has direct links to each member's trading desk/office pictures for quick reference.
Thanks to everyone for sharing their photos.

This is my desktop PC setup. Unfortunately I'm back to using my laptop and the big screen until i can purchase a new desktop supercomputer...NT just takes up too much machine!
Wow thanks so much guys for posting this - I didn't knew such a tool existed and this will surely clean my desk to only one keyboard and mouse.
However, I'm wondering if you can say something about the reliability of these tools. Do they break down, crash, or are slow to respond often? I don't want to be in the situation where I need to close a trade but the mouse pointer won't go to the correct pc. Do you use these tools in a trading environment without problems?
I found them to be quite reliable, but not even close to reliable enough for trading. Response times are ok as long as you don't play any fast FPS games over it.
Again: NEVER use this kind of software to control your order entry machine, that's asking for trouble big time!
So what I do is having the mouse and keyboard connected to my trading/order entry machine and control the less important one remotely. For the odd glitch I keep a mouse and keyboard connected to the other machine too (I don't mind as it is in an other room).
