How do I keep the chair to go back when I brake?

[dukenukem 3]

May sound very silly but I just popped the wheels out of my chair. Still spins and I can lift it easily but it will not slide when I hit the brake.

For some reason its a pain in the ass to remove the wheels in my chair, the casters with brakes seem like the best solution, im just not sure if the material of the wheels (plastic) will have enough grip. I wish they made the wheels out of that other type of plastic, like these:

 

I think that type of plastic + the brake would have enough grip to fully press the brake pedal and not move the chair. Unfortunately all I find for office chairs are these:

 

 

This type of plastic lacks grip I think.

This works like a charm on my office chair, using Ricmotech load cell (it's pretty stiff). It's soft caster so it's quite grippy, now my concern is wheel stand pro that is moving away from me when pushing  brakes. LOL.

I had that problem also with my Wheel Stand Pro before I rearranged my setup and now its closer to the wall. Quite annoying though lol.

Putting it on a carpet gripper solved WSP moving issues for me.

What type of floor do you have tho?

Im gonna buy them anyway and try luck with those, im using default g27 setup on the brakes so it's not excesively hard, i hope it works out ok thx.

Where I race, thick carpet. Hardwood elsewhere.

Can you link me to a thick carpet on ebay that will guarantee that the carpet + these casters provide a solid grip?

Ideally I hope I don't need it tho, it would be too annoying to put/remove the carpet.

Just strips of velcro attached to a length of 2 by 4........  The point is the prickly (don't know what else to call it) side of velcro sticks to carpet as if the carpet is the other velcro piece.  If you put a couple of inches of sticky back velcro toward the end of each side of a couple of feet of 2 by 4, you can put that against a couple of wheels on your chair and it will keep it from moving around.  Not a noteworthy innovation, just what I had lying around when I got tired of my chair moving when I used the clutch or brake....

Im still accepting more suggestions.

I still dont get it. Why wouldn't the wheel run above the non prickly part of the velcro strips? can you post some pics??
