I stuck a bit of rubber to the back of my Dictaphone switch
which stops it on all surfaces.
Do you guys have Dicem there?
It's a sort of sticky rubber which can be used to stop
things slipping on smooth surfaces.
Our local society for the blind here in Surrey sell it.
It comes on rolls about a foot wide and feels sticky on both
sides but no deposit is left on hands or surfaces.

This I use for stopping keyboards, keyers and more sliding
on my bench.

BTW - I have had my ham licence 37 years today!

Actually, as crowded as my desk is, on and underneath, it
doesn't have much room to move around anyway, and under the
desk has a board along the back, about a 1 by 3, so it can't
go back any more, it's already back against it, but if that
wasn't the case I'd probably pull it apart and add weight to
it. 
For now though, it doesn't move enough to worry about.
