Okay, apparently a lot of people are unfamiliar with the undercarriage
on Vibroplex keys :-)? See the 1st picture attached.? From L-R those
are the bottom sides of an Iambic, a Vibrokeyer, and a standard
bug.? There's a lot of stuff going on under there.? Double sided
tape, gluing on rubber sheets, etc., aren't an option.? (And though
it probaly won't work here, either, "museum putty" sounds very cool
and deserves further exploration.? It could be useful for keeping
things like watt meters from wandering about.)
At the bottom of the 1st pic is the butt side of the road warrior key
I put together.? Those stick-on bumpers stick like glue!? If I could
find a taller version of those, I could just remove the feet from
all the keys and replace them with the bumpers.
I did come up with a workaround for the main offender, though.? (See
2nd picture attached.)? I found some small stick-on bumpers I had
forgotten about.? These keep the key nicely stuck to the desk, but
they elevate it to where the finger pieces? are higher up than I
like.? It will work for now, but it's not a long term solution.
