Didn't exactly get this for a laptop, but got it (as a gift form my wishlist) for my Push 2 controller and it works great at putting it a nice angle to avoid the reflection of the room lights on the large glass screen of the controller. It works great and raised it higher than I though it would based on how it looks fully extended with nothing on it. I would prefer it to be about $10-$15 instead of $20+, but it's price is pushing how much I would pay for something like this. It's is sturdy enough, but I wouldn't say it's built like a tank though. As for the rubber feet, they hold my controller in place just fine while tapping on it. They do not have a rubbery tacky type of grip, but more of a firm plastic that will slide fairly easily if pushed. For my use that is not a bad thing as I like to slide it forward and back on my desk as I need to use it, but it holds enough to not slide when I'm actively using it. I'd recommend it.Update 02/17/17I really did not remember writing a review for this product or even remember when I wrote the review, but I've had one of these for awhile now and absolutely love the thing. Since I only had one I was switching it around to use with other things. Recently, I got an XPS 13 laptop and was wishing I had another one of these stands but could not remember the name of the company or the type of stand it was. I eventually found it the other day, but never got around to ordering it. To my surprise my wife bought me one !! Probably one of the bests gifts I've gotten in the two decades we've been together. Theses stands are awesome. I was previously using it for my Push 2 Controller, then, decided to try it with my MPC 2000xl. It is larger and heavier then a laptop, but the stand hold and angles it perfectly. The new one I just received is intended to be used for the XPS 13 laptop and it angles it nicely; however, the only issue I have is the fact that the laptop is so thin that the front two lips of the X stand sit higher than the edge of the laptop. As a result, whenever I rest my hands on the laptop to type, I can feel the two front lips of the stand pressing on my hands. Can;t really say it's a flaw of the stand because the laptop is so thin, but hopefully they make another model for thinner laptops (??) I know I'd buy it in a heartbeat....
