Typewriter pads for sale

The JACKALOPE Typewriter Pad is everything you need to:

• Stop skidding

• Protect your desk

• Quiet down your typing

... and it supports WordPlay Cincy, 

a nonprofit organization that helps kids tell their stories!

For sale only to buyers with US addresses.

The Jackalope is made of tan or grey felt, treated with a nonslip coating on top and rubber backing on the bottom. 

The rubber will not budge—but some typewriters may still slip on the top surface of the pad, depending on their weight, the composition of their feet, and your typing habits. So just in case, I provide a strip of black self-adhesive felt. If you cut it into squares and stick it on your typewriter's feet, they will grip the Jackalope pad and the machine will not move. There's enough self-adhesive felt for two typewriters.

Here's a close look at the pad's rubber backing:

Pads vary in color and may include dark lines along one or more edges, as shown here.

The regular Jackalope pad is about 12 x 13 x 0.25 inches and costs $13.99 including US shipping.

It fits unobtrusively under just about any typewriter, portable or standard.

For extra-large typewriters (such as a Hermes Ambassador or IBM Selectric III), 

the Jumbo Jackalope will do the trick. It's about 14 x 16 x 0.25 inches and costs $17.99 including US shipping.

All profits from sales of the Jackalope pads go to support WordPlay Cincy, a nonprofit kids' tutoring and creative writing center in Cincinnati, Ohio that uses typewriters. Profits are either donated directly, or used to buy typewriters and supplies for Urban Legend Typewriters, the shop that supports WordPlay. So far, Jackalope pads have raised over $5000 to help this worthy organization.

Here are some reviews from satisfied typists:

"I am enjoying the very useful pad. Incorporating the non-skid material with the felt is genius."

"I could not be more pleased. I had been using shelf liners with either felt scraps or dish drying pads atop. While they helped keep my typewriters in the general vicinity of where they were being used, they all, eventually skittered away. So far, my Jackalope has held fast. Neither my Olympias nor my Smith Coronas have budged it. If I'm taking a typer with me I just put the pad in the top of the case, close it up, and I'm good to go."

"It's definitely the best one I've got. The rubber footing works much better than the other rubber mat I have."

"It definitely does a great job muffling typewriter noise, in fact, much better than any makeshift pad I've used. The thickness and firmness are just right, and the texture of the felt provides a good grip so that the typewriter stays in place while typing."

Pads are for sale only to buyers with US addresses, because international shipping has gotten expensive and cumbersome (you have to go to the Post Office, fill out a customs form, and wait while the information is slowly entered into the computer).

Prices include US shipping and self-adhesive felt (see above).
