Not sure if these will work for what you need them for: http://www.allelectronics.com/make-a-store/category/545/Rubber-Feet/Bumpers/1.html
$7 shipping, or free local pickup if you're in L.A.
or I can send you some of the ones I have if you only need a few.

Yeah... I would also like some circular rubber feet, but I'm in Canada. Something to put on my LZ-S since it seems like one of them got warped and now it's wobbly.

If you're looking for those dimensions I would just go ahead and buy that. $4.50 is cheap. Other widely available options are the round ones. Just google self-adhesive rubber feet/pads. I'm looking for square ones that come stock on filco keyboards myself. So far no luck.

Check out your local hardware stores cabinet department. I use cabinet door bumpers as feet for the wrist rests that I make

I just got these 1/4" gripper pads in the mail and tried them out. These were meant for furniture so its thicker than I expected.


I wanted something that would fit in here so those round ones wouldn't work well.


I cut them to the size I want and they hold very well. Keyboard wont budge. Behold the levitating keyboard!




To be fair the keyboard weighs 4.5 lbs to begin with but I didn't want to scratch up my desk. So.....



I have clear round ones coming in the mail so gonna give those a try too. lol

  I found some 3M self stick rubber pads at Michael's craft store they are 1/2" dia. & 9/64" thick they are clear and very grippy 18 in a pack for $4.49 +tax. I put one on each corner of my keyboard it stays put.
