Metal cases don't have feet  ;)

But in terms of having feet, I like 'em down and flat.
Your metal cases are lacking, then.

Never used feet. I usually remove them from my keyboads.

This was totally confusing to me before E TwentyNine clarified. Glad to know I was not alone :D

I like my keyboard's feet how I like women's feet: high up and wide apart

So you have a full size keyboard?

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Another one for no feet. I have this weird habit of leaning in when I type that makes it uncomfortable to use the angle that the feet offer. I am also now aware of something I didn't think about before and now I wonder if anyone else notices. :'(

 Instead of being productive at work today, I am probably just going to practice not shifting around so much when I type.

For me it depends on whether the keyboard is in my tray or on top of the desk.  No feet if its in the tray and feet out if it's on top of the desk.  Basically, whichever makes my wrists straighter.

I do not have a tray, but my wrists are straighter without feet regardless of whether I have the keyboard in a high or a low position.

Flat keyboards are best. It is the way it is suppose to be for comfort.

Companies should not be making keyboards with feet. They serve no purpose.

I prefer keeping the feet in.  If they're flipped out it tends to feel bad on my wrists after a few minutes.

I like to tickle my feet up and down every now and then.

I extend the feet on my keyboards. I prefer the feel of all my keyboards at a slight angle.

Feet out.  Unless it's a keyboard with short feet and long feet, then I use the shorties.

I always type with my feet down. This give me a better angle for my wrists and then I can spend more time on my computer gaming or typing. Tried using them down when I first started and my wrists would hurt  a lot after longer gaming sessions or typing on the computer.
