These are the best, but more $$$3/4" Sorbothane Hemisphere Rubber Bumper Non-Skid Feet with Adhesive 50 Durometer - 16-Pack https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003IMSIBA/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_CGHavb0S8KPN0https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003IMSIBA/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_CGHavb0S8KPN0
If you don't want the expense of the Sorbothane (Google for cool facts though) then I think Swill's suggestion is a great option too. Dude knows his stuff for sure.
Also, if your bumpers are really big, fix them on with Velcro rather than adhesive. Then you can remove them to fit in a case, etc. This is also good for trying different sizes.
I would recommend these guys: http://www.bumperspecialties.com/products-ezp-2.htmlI have bought lots of different shapes and sizes from them. My preference is clear.Edit: for the record, I did weeks of research before going with these guys.

Their prices aren't always awesome but it's worth it.

My preference is clear.Edit: for the record, I did weeks of research before going with these guys.I did the same (weeks of research) and I concur that Bumper Specialities seems to be the best bet. It's what I use. Amazon sells them, too. Their stuff is of great quality. (USA! USA! USA!) To be specific, this is a good starting point: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008UFLK9W/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1My only complaint is that the adhesive they use leaves sticky goo all over everything. Nothing is perfect.The problem with Sorbothane (which is awesome in the right applications, also, USA! USA! USA!) is that Sorbothane is really for vibration or impact damping and not for anti-slip action (though it does that well). Due to this, their selection of bumpers that are less than 1/4" thick are quite limited. I love them for big stuff like Hi-Fi equipment, motor and pump mounts, and shoe insoles, but for keyboards most of their stuff is the wrong size- way too thick, and their thin stuff is way too small, and you really don't want hemispherical squishy feet for keyboards as your keyboard will wobble (but not slide) all over the place if you put lateral loads on it. That's no fun at all, and feels really weird.3M Bumpon is sufficiently nice, but not as nice as the Bumper Specialities stuff. That said, it will make you happy do if you can't get Bumper Specialities stuff for whatever reason.
