    So glad I decided to reinforce my rubber feet with gorilla glue 2 days into ownership.

    All still intact. :D

    All my hate, lol. I super glued my triangle feets after I lost the two big ones to avoid similar travesties. My poor G73 feels so incomplete, QQ.

    I noticed one of them coming off and just decided to use black electrical tape and tape over them using 3-5 stripes and its been great since.

    Are these authentic Asus feet or just sheets of rubber cut into little triangles?

    The second link answers that question. These are ones they made, pretty similar though. I got mine and they do the job nicely.

    stamping 1000 feet out of sheets of rubber is a difficult job. you can probably do it your self if you are determined and creative. ultimately it is cheaper and less time consuming to buy them i think. clearly the rear feet are more popular. Not sure why nobody made these. we gave away as many as we sold to our customers

    authentic would require asus to have made these and offered them as replacements first. for the first year of production they were on back order. As far as i know these are technically authentic as nobody else ever made these but needless to say they look like knock offs. we make no effort to hide that. Asus ultimately made the larger feet with a rubber rivet

    I lost the rubber on my battery but asus put a new one when I sent my machine in for a socket problem. All I did was include it in the note. Now I found the older one in the washing machine.

    I superglued mine too. Its irritating.. We spend so much on a laptop and they can't even give us proper rubber feet. Even my $1000 hp had better rubber feet then this....
