best pads/rubber feet for slick desk?

I have an Icemat 2 and an Ikea Jerker desk and the icemat slides around with a small amount of pressure despite it having 6 rubber feet. Same with my SMK 88 keyboard as well. Now this may be a silly question but can anyone suggest some products which would have enough friction and stopping power to prevent these things from sliding around on my desk?

I had another glass mouse pad a while back and put like 12 of those clear dome rubber feet on it and it still slid around on this desk.
 
maybe I can crush the pieces of one of your knock-off watches and use some blu tack together to have some added friction.

LMAO!!:laugh: That just might work. On the outside chance that it doesn't, you could use that rubber shelf liner that's kind of woven. It's used in RVs a lot and keeps things from slipping around. You should be able to get that at a grocery store, or a Target. If you have a bunch of old mouse pads, you can peel the cloth off of the one side, and that'll make a pretty good non-slip surface. That's what I'm using under my Nostromo n52 gamepad, works good.
 
you can get one of those mats for desks generally like mouse pad material or leather and set your keyboard and mousepad on that.
 
you can get little rubbery pads for furniture and stuff, in the hardware section of target or where the doorstops are at home depot. thinnest are probably still 3mm or so thick. theres rug liner thats tacky, also drawer liner..i dunno
 
What's the top of the desk made of? The finish? Maybe some of that rubbery, non-slip shelf liner would work. Find it in the shelf paper and contact paper section at Walmart. But the plasticizer in the stuff can ruin fine wood surfaces or that pressure laminated stuff like Bush or O'Sullivan - so you might want to test a hidden area on the desk first.
