Rubber Feet for Laptops and Notebook Computers

I have a few different brands of laptops and notebook computers. Even some desktop computers, too.


Along the way, I've sometimes lost a rubber foot - the self-adhesive kind that sits on the bottom of the laptop computer.

Now you can order replacements from Dell or HP or Sony or Toshiba or any other reseller. Ever see the price of a set of 4? One place online wants $53.00 for a set of 4. I kid you not. Do a google search for rubber feet for laptops and see what you find.

There are a few alternatives to purchasing the expensive replacement rubber feet from either computer manufacturers or the resellers.

One such alternative is to try to glue the rubber foot back on with the use of a hot-glue gun. The downside to this method is that if you use a little too much glue, your rubber bumpers may not be even. You can use permanent glues like Crazy Glue, but you have to be very careful to not get the glue on any other part of the notebook computer! Ask me how I know this!

I frequently use self-adhesive rubber feet for many of my projects so I often have some leftover. Some of the thinner ones can be trimmed to match odd shaped bumpers. This is one example:
Thin Rubber Feet. The only problem is that you have to be sure of the thickness of your current rubber feet.




Another solution is to replace all the feet. I've had great success using this size self-adhesive rubber foot on the bottom of various laptops, notebooks and desktop computers:
Thick round rubber foot for the bottom of laptops and desktop computers





The added benefit to using these rubber feet is that it also will help keep your laptop computer cooler as it raises the computer up 4.1mm (the thickness of the rubber foot).

Want to go even higher? This self-stick large rubber foot is 6.4mm high.



Many of the feet shown here are also available in clear, but for equipment like notebook computers, laptops and desktops, it's probably best to 'stick' with black self-stick rubber feet.
