Apparently, it is a thing on at least one show. NCIS once showed two people using the same keyboard at the same time.
to counterhack faster, obviously. and then someone came in and just pulled the plug out of the monitor, which obviously stopped the hacker.
There is an answer to the question that you are not asking, and it’s the scene from NCIS where TWO people are furiously typing on ONE keyboard so that they can “hack faster”
The primary thing is entertainment. They have to make something that is entertaining to watch. For example even explosions are exaggerated. In movies they contain much more fire than they usually contain.
