You think there might be a reason why you appear to be the first and only person to complain about that?
Good Lord! Send it back.
Finally! Someone bought this up. Its really annoying. I am sure there will soon be a Belkin/twelve south kinda stand/bracket to hold it still. lol
No need to wait for any genius to come up with something when you can solve this issue with $2. Mine doesn’t move even 1mm ?

i just grabbed the spare le creuset silicon round trivet from our kitchen and used that.
Thank goodness there is no grip. I occasionally have to move the studio (without a lot of space around it) a few inches. Being able to just glide it is great.
Also, knowing how relatively hard it can be to plug in a usb-c connection, I suspect that with feet you'd still have to use two hands to plug it in.
For those that want feet, it's an easy thing to do with very minimal cost. If the Studio had feet, I'd have trouble moving it as I need to. For the few times I need to temporarily plug something in, it's no big deal to use two hands to hold the computer and push the plug in. Need two hands to plug something into the Studio Display or my iMac for that matter.

Wow, that is a simple solution. Thanks for the idea.
@PowerMac5500 it's a shame it didn't go smoothly for you. I must have lucked out and didn't have any issues setting mine up. I did, however, catch a video on YT talking about the Logitech bluetooth adapter not working - so I was prepared for that ahead of time.
Right now I am running HDMI out to one 4K display, and using a Newertech (OWC) USB-C to DisplayPort adapter to connect to the second 4K display - and everything looks and works great.
These are extremely nice machines, in my opinion. I am really happy with mine.

I had a really bad time connecting a mouse and keyboard; it took about an hour. Pretty smooth sailing after that. Hope your experience improves, OP.
Someone recently threw away nearly a thousand brand new unopened Dell keyboards and mice at work. I better pick up a couple if I buy one of these in a couple years.
It was a known issue, a few reviewers commented on it. But seems it was fixed on later production runs because the one I had had a thicker grip that prevented it sliding.
The Logitech mouse (and keyboards) will work fine, like they always have, after initial setup. The problem is the Mac Studio will only accept wired mice / keyboards or Apple bluetooth mouse / trackpad / keyboard during initial setup. After the installation is setup, you will be able to add and use your Logitech peripherals like you have on previous Macs.
This is the first I had heard of this. I would think my Mac Studio is a pretty recent build (purchased April 3 in person from Apple Store) and it is pretty slippery. At first I thought it was strange that it slid so easily on the desk, but then realized that previous Mac Minis did the same. My 2013 Mac Pro, on the other hand, was very grippy.
My Mac Studio does not exhibit any fan noise issues, so I won't worry about not getting a slip resistant Mac and will just use the tip provided by @enricoclaudio
