How do I discharge static from my keyboard?

Acorn Eyes

I tried touching it to some metal but it still goes fucky on me.

This is all I could disassemble.

You should disconnect it and touch it to a grounded outlet

Where would I find a grounded outlet? And how do I touch it to it?

I dont know how a grounded outlet looks like where you live, but here in Sweden there are two small metal pegs that sticks out. As long as you dont have your keyboard connected to anything I think you can just touch it and it would be enough.

Here in the US nothing sticks out. I guess I'll try and hope I don't electrocute myself.

Where is the grounding screw on that keyboard?  I don't see one.

My ducky shine 6 has a metal grounding screw that goes from the backplate to the PCB.  Then I assume any current gets dissipated through the shield ground on the USB cable (?)
