All that just to keep something light from walking around on your
desk?  They've had that problem for years on sailboats, yachts, etc.

Get yourself some of this stuff and cut it so a shape that just
contains the feet on the K3 ( or ...).

Google    no slip tape    anti slip tape    no slip fabric   anti slip
fabric   for a ton of different kinds.

There are quite some number of different KINDS of no slip materials.
I use some of the skinny waffle like fabric under my keyboard and
trackball.  They don't weigh anything at all and they never budge.
Ditto the keyer paddle that I really bang on and would slide without
the fabric.

Sliding is a non-issue.  Weight just isn't needed any more.
