Static Discharge Plate

I thought I’d share this critical piece of hardware for my sim setup. I live in a dry climate, and often get static buildup when rising or sitting on my office chair. I attached this metal plate underneatch my desk as shown, and the wire goes to the ground plug adapter I got from Amazon.

The main issue this is solving is that when I’m “staticky” and I put my hands on my Boeing TM Yoke, I naturally touch the small screw on the left side of the yoke, and the Zap can trigger a USB disconnect/connect event, often causing the sim to momentarily freeze. So I make it a habit, particularly in the winter, to touch the plate when I stand or sit.

Thought this little hack might help someone.
