This sounds more than anything like direct vibration from the normal force of hitting the keys, and the normal movements of the mouse. Sometimes if things aren't perfectly flat you can get a vibration movement, especially now that a lot of monitors are mounted on those mini stands up off the table with the base under them. I have a pretty sturdy and hefty desk, but my monitor still has some sway and flex on the stand, I get some shaking of my screen when I am typing emails or doing work for school, etc.

You could possibly put like a piece of foam rubber or foam insulation under your monitor stand, and have the monitor rest on that. Only issue then is that you're putting the monitor even higher up in the air, and it could defeat the purpose, since the higher you have it off the ground, the more susceptible it would be to 'sway".

I agree with Oink, try putting the keyboard on your lap and type there see if it happens. If it still shakes you probably have some sort of ghost that just wants to annoy you :p
