Question about keyboard feet slippage

Jenny · 08-12-2007, 07:07 PM

Ok, so you know the feet that pop up on keyboards to tilt the back of them up so it doesn't lay flat on the desk? Mine don't have anything on them to prevent them from slipping around on the desk. I had some of those little bitty felt pads (that stick to like bottom of glass, etc) that I was able to wrap around them, but they come off pretty easily cause they get gunked up and icky. I'll try and get a good picture to show you the size of the feet I'm talking about... Does anyone have any ideas about what to do to prevent my keyboard from slipping on the glass of my desk? (I guess I could get something like a mousepad or something that sits on the desk, but I dunno, if there is something out there that I haven't thought of, please tell me!)

TIA!

This pic is showing you the little an end (flat, not much space) there is to the feet. Not much room to stick anything to them:

Rubber pads (adhesive on one side) might work better than felt and instead of placing them around the pop out tabs, place them at the opposite end of keyboard (the end where space bar is). These can be found at any office supply store. That should help. There should be pads already there, however I find them too small and inefficient.
