I've realised that there is a top I cannot wear when playing games. I've had a handful of electric shocks from my headset strong enough to hurt and to reset the joypad.

I suspect this may even have fried a Turtle Beach pad too...

Any tips anyone? I know I cannot wear that top anymore. But I'm starting to flinch every time I touch my headsets now 😨 and I don't want to fry any more pads.

@gpowerf Move to a damp place.

And maybe don't buy a chair with a cloth layer on it if you don't.

I genuinely have no better advice and I have also lost games to zapping the headset port on a PS4 controller with the power of Thor the Thunderer and it taking us both several seconds to recover.
