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

"Starting in 2011, the deficits again started to shrink. During Obama’s term  the deficit was reduced by $900 Billion  before finally in 2015 the GOP managed to wrangle a “reconciliation” bill out of Obama where he again cut corporate taxes, as well as made permanent some of George W. Bush’s original tax cuts. This is the year everything reversed. Before this, under Clinton, Bush and Obama the deficit in almost every year was gradually decreasing. The balance we had of taxes and the economy was bringing the deficit down, the money coming in was slowly catching up with the money going out until 2015. Trump’s subsequent tax cut has continued the new trend even after the rest of Bush’s cuts have since expired. Obama had an average GDP of 2.3%, with 11.6 million jobs created and unemployment peaking at 10% in 2009, then falling to 4.3% in 2016. If we had continued on that downward deficit track, we would have again reached balance and another surplus in 2017-2018.

Shameless promotion of my own product:

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

Not a shameless promotion if it's a viable solution to the problem! thanks!

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?
