Abstract: This application relates to self-profiling friction pads for computing devices. In particular, the embodiments discussed herein describe self-profiling friction pads that have a naturally dome-shaped profile. In some embodiments, the self-profiling friction pads can be used as device feet for a computing device. Additionally, the self-profiling friction pads can be used to seal certain areas of the computing device such as a display or ventilation system. The self-profiling friction pads are configured to be deposited in a liquid state and form into a dome shape as a result of the material properties of the deposited liquid and the properties of the surface to which the liquid is deposited.
