A rubber piece fell off the bottom of my laptop. What kind of glue would be good for gluing it back? Super glue doesn't seem to work very good.

Go to Walmart and get some "Shoe Goo" it is especially made for rubber. It is made to repair the soles on tennis shoes.

Elmer's Epoxy is what works on Rubber. It comes in 2 tubes and you uase one on each surface and then when they mix it stays like a caulk. Super-glue will just soak in.
There is also something called Rubber Cement.

Contact cement will work perfectly.
Clean both surfaces EXTREMELY WELL.
(use lighter fluid if need be) Apply to both surfaces.
let sit 10 minutes. Re-apply to one surface. let sit till "tacky".
Join the surfaces taking care they're EXACTLY aligned!
(you don't get a second chance)
You probably can now tow a truck with your laptop.
That foot that fell off? It'll now outlast the rest of the laptop.
Save that contact cement! You'll find lots'o stuff to use it for!

Super glue specifically does not work on certain types of foam and laytex. It can actually have an exothermic chemical reaction (gets HOT)

There is a great website called thistothat.com What you do is pick from a scroll menu what you want to stick and another scroll menu of what you want to stick it through and it gives you the options available for that purpose.

Any type of contact cement should be fine.
