Unplug the G29. Sim racing is not intended to be death-defying.

Which parts exactly are causing shocks and how it is mounted?

Are we talking "small electrostatical discharge" or mains current 240v??

Afaik the Logitech G wheels have their ground connected via the bottom screws.
So the rig is connected to the ground of the Logitech wheel.

If the "shocks" are as soft as when you touch another person and you have different kind of shoes on and discharge into each other, then you need to check some grounding stuff with your rig and PS5.

If the shocks are stronger, then get rid of that wheel instantly!

I believe that the wheel ground is linked to the negative PSU so it's possible to get a shock if it's fixed to a metal rig with metal fixings.
Of course if it's only an issue when plugged into a PC rather than the PS5 then could it be an issue with the PC earth?

I shock barely felt with dry skin might kill you with wet.

Its not small elect discharge its very strong I got shocked once I barely could see for like a whole day

 

[blekenbleu]

its very strong

Trash the G29 and see a shrink about your evident death wish by not having already done so. FWIW, my guess would be a defective power supply.

Yea thats what I did may god compensate me its still new...

That can only be a (dangerous) fault somewhere, then.

For info, small shocks are entirely routine with G27 supplies and non-grounded PCs (e.g. laptops). In this instance the maximum current that can flow is well under 1 milliamp; this can be unpleasant depending on which bit of skin is touching the metalwork, but not dangerous.
