A friend of mine has an old Apple Extended Keyboard. She likes this keyboard very much. Two of the feet on the bottom have fallen off. They are long thin strips of rubber about 2mm by 10mm. They are maybe 1 or 2mm thick.
What would be a good material to replace these feet for her? I have not done this before so I am not sure.

Thanks for the reply and suggestions. I had not thought of using rubber pads intended for furniture. I will try this.
A colleague at work also suggested I could make my own using something called Sugru. This seems an expensive and error prone way to make feet.

I actually have all the equipment necessary to make rubber foot pads for keyboards. I wonder if the need is there to actually make a short production run. I could probably do so in just a couple of weeks providing I could obtain a sample to pattern from.
