Then, by all means, do not waste your money on buying one!
The new pictures look nice.

Fohat, I'm just musing aloud about the different possibilities. I know you like modding and trying out different materials, so it's not intended to thread crap.
By discussing pro- and anti- reasons for using EPDM we can work out conditions under which it is most useful.
In any case the next poster JinDesu had a response that was exactly what I was hoping to stimulate. Makes sense. EPDM mat has the weight to 'even out' crappy desk surfaces.
In contrast, I have a good desk and also often the need to move my keyboard to one side to do other things.
I have some and absolutely will be using it to secure my metal bottom plate to the PCB (for voltage reasons). I will fold the end over taco style so the slidy aluminium plate won't, y'know, slide.

I'm curious about the possibilities of using this internally as well. Are there opportunities to reduce ping on my Filco, for instance?

Heheh nice necrobump Ray! fohat.digs are you still selling these? Pretty intriguing for only $10...
I've been using one of these for a while now. Can definitely recommend both the product and the seller! :thumb:
May buy one in a couple of months if you still have the material!

You don't exactly have to sell your car to pay for it.
I am down to my last couple of pieces to cut full-size mats, but I have enough smaller pieces (ie <4" or <11cm on the short dimension) for a few more.
When my company gets another contract that uses the material, I should get enough scraps to cut a dozen or more, but I have no way to know when that will be.
Bump this thing.
I still have enough EPDM to do a couple of more small mats.
Can they be used as a mosepad if I bought a large one? are they heat resistant for soldering? sorry if dumb questions

I still use one of these under my daily driver at work. :thumb:And at home. : thumb:
Hello,
I just bought a few mats from fohat.digs a few days earlier.
Attached are pictures of the mat that I have on hand at the moment. It's not especially slippery or grippy, which is fine for me.
If you are extremely heavy on your keyboard movements, you might actually move the mat slightly sometimes. I have never had any such troubles, but I could move my keyboard if I give a little extra push.
At first, the mat looks pretty ugly, but after a while, its grown on me, and I don't really see it much.
If you want some cheap mats made to size, I'd highly recommend most people to buy these.
I'm wondering if I could save a bit money and buy this instead of the official HHKB Vibration Absorption Mat. Anyone have both to compare? Also would you be willing to cut it in about same dimensions. A bit undersized and leaving free spaces for front and back feets and the 3 screws in the back. Like this: http://www.smartimports.net/hhkb-vibration-absorption-mat (http://www.smartimports.net/hhkb-vibration-absorption-mat)No reason to cut one of these mats up just use it how it comes for the hhkb.

I was just kinda thinking about attaching it properly on my keyboard so it would need cutouts. But I guess I can do that with normal scissors myself if I ever feel need to.
Anyways do you still have the materials?
The anti-vibration mat from PFU is much thicker and has better grip than the rubber mats that I got from fohat.digs. I'll attach a picture to give you an idea of how the anti-vibration mat looks compared to fohat.digs's mats.
Like fohat.digs mentioned earlier, his mats are utilitarian and they are great for preventing more important things from getting damaged. I like to put it under the PFU mat to keep the foam safe.
