You can cut a piece of drawer liner about the same size as your keyboard and put it underneath.

^^ This is what I'm using.

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

Hey we have the same keyboard :P That's not a bad idea! But I found another solution. 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

"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

Shameless promotion of my own product:

I can also vouch for this, I use fohats material under my keyboards at work. :thumb:

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 :))

"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

Are your HHKB's sliding because the front rubber feet have become slick?  Or are you just pushing it really hard in a funny way?
