Hello guys. So I am very paranoid about static electricity when it comes to opening up my pc's case, so I decided to invest in protection against static damage. I live in Florida, so since it's humid and not so dry, static isn't as much of a problem. However, my room's floor is carpet. I could always go somewhere else inside the house that has wood or marble and avoid carpet. However, I have always been paranoid with ESD, and could potentially stay inside my carpet room if the wristband is effective enough.It's just less of a hassle if I can stay inside of my room instead of having to go down stairs carrying a pc, just to be on wooden/marble floors. So the goal is for the item to counter carpet effectively.
So the question is, for pc building, should I go wristband or mat? Do I need both for my carpet room, or is one effective enough to counter carpet? Thanks for the help in advance.
