It seems there might be some electrical activity happening inside your PC when you power it on. The current you observed through the I/O shield and the metal part of your keyboard could indicate a loose connection, a faulty component, or even a grounding issue. Checking for proper wiring and ensuring all connections are secure might help clarify what’s going on.

Not found in the current context. Could you provide more details or clarify your question?

It seems a metal prong might be inserting into a disconnected connector.

You can test if a socket is grounded using a multimeter in continuity mode—check for resistance to zero. Alternatively, touch a grounded object near the socket and feel for a difference in voltage.

I wasn't aware USB connections carried dangerous electrical levels.

Does your home have an older design? Are you connected to a three-prong power outlet?

The keyboard's body is made of metal, yet you're puzzled about the presence of current within it.

You're connecting devices with a surge protector and three-prong plugs.

Your wall outlets with three connection points are grounded, while those with only two points are not.

When you contact another metal component of your PC, do you experience the same sensation? I believe it remains ungrounded, perhaps consider using a different socket or checking the housing for proper grounding.
