That stuff is sold as shelf and drawer liner, and is available at just about everywhere kitchen supplies are sold. (Mine came from that mecca of capitalism, Wal-Mart.) It works great. Having never learned how to use a bug, I don't smack my paddle around like some do; however, my Bencher BY-2 did tend to meander a few inches over a period of weeks. With the rubber waffle-style shelf liner under the paddle, it might as well be screwed down to the desktop. I pushed the paddle to see how much force was required to move it, and I had to push quite hard to get it to move at all. That rubber waffle-style shelf liner stuff is really amazing.

I got a small swatch of a rubberized waffle like padding - you can see
through the mesh like a screen - and it stops the 'scoot' really great. I've had it so long that I can't remember where it came from, and I'm not even sure it was intended for use with a key. The one I have is blue, quite thin, and very soft. If anyone knows where it comes from or it's original intended use, I
think  it would be a boon to all cw ops.
