The StaticOff touchpoints are electrodes, connected to a high impedance circuit that includes a non-linear device. The combination provides a slow, controlled discharge of the static charge.
Therefore, YOU DO NOT GET A STATIC SHOCK USING STATICOFF.
I stand corrected. According to the user "StaticOff" the product will prevent an actual shock. I still think installing a bunch of custom light switch plates in your home is overkill, but if that's what you want to do about static electricity you're welcome to do so.
Halleyscomet, what do you know about electronics? Not much. I'll explain: a shock happens when the current flows in a very small amount of time. If there's a resistance to the current (through impedence as StatisOff explained), the shock will not be a shock anymore if it is delayed enough. Take a class in electronics and learn about capacitors and resistors. I myself take a key and touch something on the wall with it and that fixes it for me good enough.
All this does is provide a grounded surface. You STILL get a static shock, it's just discharged on the plate instead of some other random object. Touching a metal doorknob will accomplish the same thing.
Low production quality but funny video!
