In over 2 decades of video gaming, I've seldom (if ever) encountered a situation in which I've actually got my entire forearms laying on a control panel. Won't work unless you're sitting aweful low or your CP is positioned pretty high. Don't think it would be terribly comfortable either way.

I have mocked it up (which is why my ITVT consists of magnetic pieces I can feel), but no I haven't actually tried it while sitting on a stool. That's a very good point. I guess even sitting on a stool, your elbows would probably be a little higher than the panel, so only your wrists would rest on the surface. That being the case, I can probably pull all the controls down a lot, and lose most of that depth.

Exactly. Not sure why most people don't get this.
