After struggling with my MS Sidewinder Joystick, I've finally found a solution

I have my JS set on a glass top end table next to my desk

Sidewinder FFB is strong and it tended to slide around a bit

 

Finally made a trip to our local hardware store looking for some rubber material

Ended up in the Flooring Dept and found a soft spongy doormat

It's about 1/2" in. thick and is quite soft and tacky

I knew I was on the right track when I had trouble sliding it off the rack

 

Placed it on the table then the JS ...presto instant suction cup

I even tried to reposition the mat a little and it wouldn't budge, JS hasn't moved either

So if you're having trouble with a slippery JS, the solution may be as close as your front door

 

HTH,

Yeah, I'd thought about using some sort of tape

But the end table is glass inlayed on finished wood

I may want to use it for it's intended purpose someday so I opted for the mat

It's acually an indoor mat for in front of the stove or something

Probably so spongy because it's anti-fatigue

Whatever works!
