Review on Electrical Grounding Desk Pad - 25” x 27.5” Anti-Static πŸ’‘ Mat by StarTech.com - Ideal for Home or Work - Beige (M3013) by Steve Lawrence

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Will not work for computer accessories and peripherals

This mat does not dissipate static electricity and is totally worthless for what it does. I found that even when I touched the mat, I was still releasing static electricity. First I measured the ground it was connected to and came up with close to zero ohms. Then I measured the resistance in the coiled cord that comes with the device and it read 1 MOhm. This is enough to dissipate static electricity. I measured the connections and they were fine. However, when I measured the mat material itself, I found that it is not conductive. It measures infinite resistance. This product will not do what it is designed to do and will endanger your electronic work.

Pros
  • Ideal for small homes
Cons
  • Negative is present
