@710King Just saying, don't you think
the engineers behind the design of it took esd damage to the hardware into account if they were to put something like that in the console for that purpose? Pretty sure all the shielding surrounding the board is there for that, and a lot of other purposes. Also the shell, housing and casing are all probably esd safe as well. I personally have vacuumed my pro out once a week for almost 2 years now. Just to keep the dust level at its lowest. That's the key I think. As long a hole crap ton of dust isn't coming out and there's enough humidity in the air, esd is at its lowest point of happening. Also mind the rubbing of the nozzle because that builds up static as well. Though any build up can be dissipated quickly since esd is relatively short lived. As long someone is careful enough no damage will occur. Not to say id advise using a vacuum either(on a ps4), but to each there own. I did it before I had any idea about esd. Now I know how to build a computer because of it. That happening made me study and learn the ins and outs of all tech. As long as you mitigate you will not kill your hardware. Yes, latent damage can occur and your hardware could fail months or years down the line. But repeated damage causes outright immediate failure(bricking) after enough damage has occurred.
@banacheck Esd is actually caused by a combination of dust going up the hose and it hitting other particles and the tube walls and the nozzle rubbing on surfaces. As long as these are mitigated enough esd is not a problem. Also helps if the Humidity is higher since Esd is more likely to occur in dryer conditions. But don't listen to idiots on here, Sony's engineers know what there doing and if it were a risk to the console, it wouldn't be a design feature of the console. In the ps4 manual they recommend using a low powered vacuum to clean the vents.
