I use a xtrac pads ripper xxl. Stays put.id rather not cover my entire desk as i still use it as a desk (books, notebooks, writing, etc)
a cheap solution that works great for me is to use cabinet liner. Most dollar stores have it and it is not expensive.ive thought about the cabinet liner thing but i plan to mve my keyboard between computers and places and id have to bring it with and i just think that rubber feet on the bottom would be easier.
I used to industrial velco my flight sim throttle/joystick.nope not german. from US. our ACE went out of buisness years ago... But we do have FleetFarm. i only checked at Walmart when i had to get some for my Trackball and none of those ended up working very well.
Just go to the hardware store for rubber feet choices. What's the ACE Hardware of Germany?
Oh wait, you may not be the German dude.
OP, I've heard of that being an issue. You can replace the feet? I've heard of someone using that lining used for cabinets for dishes etc, the non-slip material, just replace that on the bottom lol. Nice for a $275 keyboard.. =T I still want one.its a nice keyboard just received yesterday and couldnt be happier but it does need some more and better feet. ill hopefully be able to make a trip over to Fleet today to see what they have to offer.
Maybe it's because I don't use the feet, but mine never slides around on me. But then, the only pressure I put on it other than typing is a little bit of downward pressure right at the front, and that only occasionally.yea there are 2 rubber grips on the bottom of the keyboard for some reason only one of mine actually grips... so my keyboard slowly turns to the right
You could always put lead in it. Sig> Mods>Keyboard>Arnold.i havnt looked inside the HHKB Pro 2 bu there doesnt seem to be much room. plus i just got mine and would rather not void the warranty.Show Image(http://geekhack.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=5451&stc=1&d=1256758915)
Check if it's level with a pane of glass.
May have to Torque it a bit.

Are you near the North Pole - centrifugal force?well the right side foot grips and the left side foot doesnt
Hah, I keed.
Dunno why it would spin clockwise. I was disappointed toilets flush the same way in Australia.
well the right side foot grips and the left side foot doesnt
I am experiencing the exact same issue on both my HHKB Pro 2, and Lite 2.do what i did. the keyboard doesnt move now
Ya, hhkb tends to have that problem, but you can fix it by torquing it, even if it looks flat, just flex it a bit and it "solves" the problem. I put it in quotes because the rubber feet is kinda weak even when the weight is evenly placed on them. The feet are kinda stiff (probably suppose to last a long time) so even a slight amount of unevenness takes all the weight off the one of the feet. So if you don't want to need to flex ur keyboard every once in a while, you can fix that by replacing it with softer feet, so they grip even when the surface is not very even. I find softer feet also absorb some sound , goes well with my spanking new type s!id rather not have to torque my $300 keyboard...
I did see some really intense velco pads at Lowes =) but that's a pretty good idea for joysticks lol.yea i saw those also they look alot like what is used on my CST trackball. The ones i found labeled as bumpers seemed too firm and too thick to keep the same profile of the keyboard so i didnt end up getting them.
Anyway those pads I linked were pretty huge and didn't feel too rubbery so I purchased some "bumpers" good for VCRs, lamps, computer equipment etc lol so hey, why not.
They work great, are low profile and don't allow the keyboard to move unless I really try. They don't work when either level of legs are out however.
Update: I have recently found and switched to Egrips (http://tinyurl.com/y94fdxx) and bought a roll (http://tinyurl.com/5rkhvjo) as its much cheaper than the pre-cut stuff.Can you do a comparison as far a your opinion on the two that you tried. I am curious as to just how much more effective Egrips is compared to Surface Gard.
Thanks to The Profosist, for the info I also bought some Egrips and its working pretty good. Using the back risers makes it a little more difficult but I'm dealing with it. I'm up for ideas to make it longer lasting.Can you take pics of what you did I assume its on a HHKB. If you need me to post some pics of what I did I can. I have some on both my HHKB (and its wrist rest) and Rosewill's. For the HHKB and wrist rest I basically put it on top of the surface guard. If you don have feet already on you HHKB you could use some double stick tape I suggest 3M Outdoor Mounting Tape (http://tinyurl.com/chb95rf) as even though it says permanent it comes up a lot better than the regular white foam stuff. I did also put it on the flip out feet with success it was a bit complex on the HHKB come pared to the Rosewill.
yea there are 2 rubber grips on the bottom of the keyboard for some reason only one of mine actually grips... so my keyboard slowly turns to the right
Same here. Right side slips. I also have a bit of rocking from the diagonal of top-left to bottom-right.I didnt have the rocking but I do remember ripster mentioning that. I know its an expensive keyboard but you could torque it just a little bit to see if that helps with the rocking. Otherwise, I recommended that you pick up some Egrips. You will probably also need some 3m outdoor double stick mounting tape which despite what the package says is semi easily removable (easier in my book than the normal stuff). Cut the Egrips to the size you want then cut the double stick tabe to the size of the Egrips. Stick the tape on, remove the backing of the tape, then the backing of the Egrips, and stick the sticky side of the Egrips to the exposed double stick tape. If you need to know how to put it on the flip out feet let me know.
Beware of these Egrips guys. I never got them after paying long ago and they don't respond to my emails.I wonder what happened on the first order they took forever but I complained via email and they sent me a second one. Then i ordered again and it came withing the week. And yes I am using this stuff on just about everything.
I'll have to call next.
I had this same problem, and I went to Home Depot and asked if they had any sort of small rubber feet. The only ones they had were really really tiny nipple type ones that didn't seem too good, and some slightly bigger cube-ish ones. I got the cube-ish ones and put one on each corner. The keyboard sits a little bit higher than it used to, but it's not too big of a deal since it doesn't change the profile of the keyboard, it just sits slightly higher on the desk.
I'm used to it now, but I like that thin strip idea, wish I'd have seen those.
I got it!!
Whew. Long haul. I'll write it up sometime.
Now about my $134.50 lebooooowwwwwsssskkkkkeeeee.......
