Besides appearing improved, worn rubber typically offers reduced grip or adhesion. This is often a common concern. I notice that as the rubber on my laptop's feet deteriorates, it becomes stickier and provides better hold. Could this be a positive change or is it just a perception?

Relies heavily on the condition of the feet being examined; certain substances may become more slippery over time, while others might actually improve grip.
Some materials also develop a tacky texture as they age, making them more suitable for use. For instance, I recently bought a PS3 controller after not using it for over six months, and the thumb rests felt sticky and adhered well to surfaces.

I believe rubber feet aren't a major concern unless the laptop has a fan or air intake at the bottom (which many do). In that case, as you move closer to the table, airflow decreases, leading to higher temperatures and increased throttling.

I understand your question about how wear affects grip on rubber.
Do you have any idea if the rubber tends to gain more grip over time?

I understand, it looks like the versions I provide tend to be a bit more casual.

You may notice increased surface contact as they wear you. This is because the high points have worn away.
