^^ This is what I'm using.

There are also some rubber bumpers you can get I forget the exact recommended ones for the HHKB.

If you look at the back of your keyboard, you see the top area where there are two circles? THE reason why the keyboard is moving is because they didn't include rubber stuff there. That's the only reason why the keyboard moves. I found two rubbery thing and cut them out and placed it in that area and now it's not moving anymore :P

Post by: rowdy on Mon, 07 December 2015, 03:48:07: I use drawer liner under mine too. It has the second benefit of dampening the echo from the desk, so I can enjoy the Topre thock more.

Also I was going to link fohat's thread, but he already did :))
