word-request

What is the proper name for the four legs (pads?) on the bottom of a laptop? I am thinking of those that are glued to the laptop and make the airflow circulation better under it.

For most equipment they are called feet, but in the laptop context, add-on feet may be called bumpers or stands (1, 2) as well. Phrases “self-stick rubber pads” or “stick-on rubber pads” also may be used for particular kinds of feet.
