I tested this myself. In several of the reclining options, it turns out to be one of the best ways to place the keyboard comfortably. I was skeptical at first too. But if it works, it works.
I have a split keyboard and will have to rig up something custom, but that's half the fun.
How sci-fi looking. Looks pretty awesome. They needed to add a bit more of a reclining aspect to it though, and allow the monitors to track your eyes in different reclined positions.
