Slidly KB

Jimmy1983 · 3 Dec 2007 at 14:08

Ive got my KB on a wooden surface, but it often sides about too much around my desk. Anyone know off an fabric or some similar I can stick to the underside off the KB tabs that sit on the deak?

Yeah did think off that, Iam sure there is a certain kind off fabric that you can use.

You can get a non-slip matting from Boyes designed for just this job. It is available in a variety of colours, and then just cut it to the shape and size you require

How about rubber feet, would imagine they would give reasonable grip.

You can get rubber/cork round pads from any decent arts/crafts or DIY store!

My S510 already has rubber feet but the upper area height when flat is too flat so I raised it a few mm by buying a pack of rubber pads :

What shop did you get them from mrk?

mrk · 3 Dec 2007 at 18:33

Got these from a shop called "The Range"

You live in Portsmouth so not so far from me, the shop is literally a few roads down - I can see if they still stock them if you like? alternatively I have the same height sticky pads in "cup" shape I can post to you?

This is what they look like on a tea coaster I improvised:

Both types cost 99p per pack.

I have a small pot of them cut into square bases (as above) so if you would like some let me know how many and where to post
