In reply to Daniel Marleau. I made a wall-mounted typewriter desk. Nailed to the top are 1/4" thick basement flooring tiles. They are made of recycled tires and shaped like puzzle pieces. None of my typewriters EVER budge.

I am also a drummer and slap one of these Evans SoundOff drum mutes under all my typewriters. Works really great! But you have to navigate the round vs the four feet — be sure it’s big enough! https://www.daddario.com/products/percussion/percussion-accessories/mutes/soundoff-drum-mutes/

I’d recommend one of these wool ironing mats!

I used to use an IKEA bath mat, but I recently bought an SM9 which came with an original black type pad similar to the My Typewriter pad, except that it doesn’t skid and it does dampen the vibrations enormously.

I personally use a HERMES typewriter pad under my HERMES Ambassador. The rubber on the edge is a little bit cracked but otherwise it’s a perfectly serviceable pad. The manufacturers knew what they were doing.

I love the sound of the typer, having my “Nurd Cave” in the basement helps too.

I like the door mat idea, I just need something from keeping my Olympia and SIlver Reed from doing a cha-cha to the right on my metal typing table.

I just picked up a memory foam bath mat with a velour top. Six bucks at Ross. Nonslip and thick.

In reply to T. Munk. That's exactly what I do. I bought mesh shelf liner at a Target and felt squares at a craft store. I cut the items to size. The result? Perfection. Thanks for sharing the tip.
