    The big ones (for furniture) look silly.
    The smaller ones in the purple bag from HD fit the bill just fine for machines.
    I want to say it was a 8 or 12 pack.
    Edit: 16 pack!

    2-3/4" can still sink into the carpet like a regular foot would. Looks great I'm sure but, probably not the best choice.
    Mine are somehing like 3-1/2" edge to edge. Sinks in juuuuust enough, but doesn't deform the carpet or pad if you decide to move the game around. (See pic above...)

    I think he wanted to work on his WHOLE basement slide saves TheLaw. lol

    Found them.
    Everbilt 16 pack for under $9.

    Have them on all my machines.
    No complaints; easy to nudge/slap save.
    Doesn't feel like the games are going to tip over...yes, even while death saving.
    I guess the main key to that is to let the games sink into the foam first and then level them.
    I usually give them a few days to acclimate under the machine before re-adjusting the pitch and level.
