When I had a sit down desk, I always tried to get desks with the keyboard pull out draw.
I also much prefer having the keyboard / mouse low, but then I just adjust my chair to also match that height so my forearms rest naturally.
Funny enough that's exactly what I used to prop up my monitors too. It's so good because you can fine tune the height by just removing a chunk of sheets.
If you sit up straight, the weight should be pretty evenly distributed. It felt like floating on air.
In the end I guess that's what matters. Try to find a set up that puts absolutely no strain on your forearms, wrists and hands.
