Flywing AP-0001 for Apple MacBook Pro A1278/A1286/A1297 Replacement Rubber Feet/Foott Kit 13"/15"/17", 4 Count

I picked up these Flywing replacement rubber feet for my older MacBook Pro (A1278/A1286/A1297) after the original feet came off. These fit my device perfectly, installation was quick and easy, and they attached securely with no hassle. The quality feels solid and they’ve stayed in place since I put them on. For the price, it’s a great value and a simple way to restore stability and functionality to an older laptop. If you’ve got a MacBook with missing or worn-out rubber feet, this is a reliable, affordable solution to get your laptop back in shape. Highly recommended for anyone doing a quick repair on an older MacBook Pro!

They are not "soft and nice". They're firm and nice. Matches the original feet of my MacbookPro. The adhesive is not good enough, so I took forceps and removed the plastic and other gunk from the hole in the bottom of the laptop, test-fitted the replacement foot, and then put a thin bead of silicon sealant in the circular groove and installed the foot, wiggling it to ensure that it went all the way in the little hole. Then wiped the laptop case with a paper towel to remove the excess sealant. Set the laptop on the feet overnight on a hard surface and they are now permanently installed and will never come off. It's nice the company included a set of screws in case any are lost for those silly enough to think that the case needs to be taken apart. The use of silicon sealant is far easier, and far more reliable.

I bought these feet for my 2009 Macbook Pro. It's 11 years old now, so it's been around the block. I had lost 2 of the original feet over the years and wanted to replace them. I like these better than the originals, actually! I find that they fit better into the recesses for the feet. The original ones seem slightly too big for the recesses, so I mess with them trying to get them to fit. The new feet fit perfectly and don't budge if I mess with them in the same way. They have a nice rubberized texture, similar to the originals. They seem to be the same height, as I don't experience any kind of wobble when I type. I had to be very careful peeling them off the plastic so I didn't peel off the adhesive too. I haven't had a problem with the adhesion, but my Macbook doesn't get moved around all that much, so they haven't experienced much wear and tear yet.

I've only had it for about a week but they work great so far. I will admit that you have to be very careful when removing the feet from their plastic wrap, when they come out of the package. If you aren't careful, you could remove the adhesive glue. I used all four. Three of them, I didn't need my own glue, but on the fourth, I rushed a bit and accidentally touched the adhesive glue with my finger, which kinda ruined the "stick". I had to use my own superglue for that, but it works fine now. They don't hold firm as well as the originals, little slippery, but that hasn't bothered me too much, yet.

Works perfectly

These are made of hard plastic, not rubber. It means they are too smooth and offer no grip. So while they Cover the holes for the missing feet, they now allow the Mac to slide across the table. So one problem solved another one created. Going to use them because I don't ordered several packs, something I now regret. If you need something just to fill in the holes on the bottom of the Mac for missing feet, these would suffice. You'll need to clean any residue from previous adhesives CAREFULLY with a q-tip and. DROP of alcohol on the Q-Tip. Do not try to pour alcohol on the case or near the hole. Doing so will likely get liquid inside the laptop. Then you could greater problems than just missing feet. Let dry. Check that each foot hole is completely clean before putting on the new feet. Align the tiny peg on each foot with the positioning hole in by the foot hole and apply pressure. You may have to use a drop of glue if the feet won't stick. Good luck. if you're looking for real list tick protection from slipping or sliding, go elsewhere.

I tried another, self-adhesive type before these. The others did not adhere for long -- a month, at best. The others were completely flat on their bottom, ignoring the more complex topography of the foot location on the laptop's bottom plate. On the other hand, these have performed well. I first removed the bottom plate of the MacBook Pro, to be able to remove all traces of the original foot. It had been sheared off, so a remnant remain protruding through a small hole. Removing the laptop's bottom plate allowed the foot remnant to be completely removed. Once having removed the remnant, and after reinstalling the bottom plate, these new feet fit like a glove. Don't waste your money on any alternatives.

I was refurbishing an old Macbook with missing feet, so I had the case open when I installed them. As it turns out, you can install the feet with the case closed. Just peel away what's left of the old feet and adhesive and stick them on. There is a small notch in the case; line that up with the corresponding notch on the feet. The only real problem with these feet is they look so new, and the case looks so old! :)
