The best rubber feet I've found so far
« on: Mon, 14 July 2014, 14:57:29 »
We've had a lot of threads about this... so many that I wasn't sure which one to update... so here's yet another one.

I have bought 5+ types of rubber feet over the past few months (mainly for HHKB Pro 2) but none have been satisfying. They were either too thick, too ugly (round = yuck), not sticky enough, etc.

I finally found some that I like. They are 2.5mm thick -- just barely thicker than the two rubber feet on the HHKB. Very sticky adhesive and very good anti-slip properties. Plus, nice and cheap.

Do these rubber feet work well on a smooth surface desk like glass?

Nice pricing + shipping. I'll probably grab these for a few different things, thanks.

Reasonable, but QQ 15 shipping for what's only a 1-2 dollar purchase

Maybe we can find something similar in Canada. I tried some of those feet from the hardware store and the board still slides around on the desk

Home depot carries something exactly like this and ones that are round in 3 different sizes. About $3-$4 a pack.

They work pretty well although you have to give the adhesive some time to properly set before you can go wild.
