That's pretty much what I do now - put some keyboards/laptops on the "desk" part, with the 'main' keyboard on the keyboard trey. That's... ok, but not very good ergonomically. Plus... the three monitors on my current desk are all hooked up to one computer (with VNCs/etc going to other machines). I'm going to need space for additional screens, too, which means a bigger desk (or an additional desk) and I just thought, hey, why not just rearrange my entire office. And since I'm doing THAT, may as well make a cool multi-keyboard kinda thing. Honestly the saddest thing here is that I refuse to sit with my back to the door, even in my home office. Then I could mount all the screens on the wall and have a small keyboard-rack or something...
