Can you easily find the power button of your PS4 pro in the dark?

[brokenswiftie]

I don't use the power button but I do use eject
I use the light from the controller to figure the location
I always forget which side is eject and which is power

 

[KentP]

The PS button on the controller is pretty easy to find, though even then I've never needed to do so in absolute darkness. I can probably count the number of times I've used the on/off button on the console itself on one hand.

 

[bud]

the only times i touch the console is when i swap discs.

 

[Menthuss]

You have 2 power buttons so you can't really go wrong. It's just that one of the buttons also ejects the disk.

 

[Abaddonn]

Why would you ever want to not have the light on when you have to do stuff like this?

 

[Het_Nkik]

I have a Pro and I can't find the buttons with the light on. And they bend weird like you can snap them off if you press them too hard. Weird design.

But I use the controller to turn it on and off so...

 

[Rumenapp]

No need. I always turn on the console with the controller.

Someone needs to make a game in Dreams based on this thread title

 

[Deleted member 10747]

Sure, but it shouldn't be needed.

Why not just make a practical button instead.

Ok, than walk to your PS4 Pro and check where it is. Now you have acquired the skill to turn off your console in the dark.... Some off you make things so difficult for yourself..

But anyway, they could have made a button button for you and the op who need to turn off their machine without using the ds4 and or light.

 

[Combichristoffersen]

I can't even find it with the light on, so I just use the DS4 to turn it on.

 

[Deleted member 4262]

Nope, those buttons are terrible. I never use them tho.

 

[JustinH]

Yeah, I usually use a controller. I can turn it on if I need to in the dark, but it's a 50/50 chance if I accidentally hit the wrong button first and eject the disc (I generally just run my finger up and down that "line").

 

[dreamstation]

I don't think I've ever used it? I always just press the PS button on the controller.

 

[KraytarJ]

I don't think I've ever touched the power button on my pro. It auto boots when I change inputs so that's basically how I always do it.

 

[Deleted member 49535]

I never use the button, always the controller.

 

[ghostcrew]

Literally just had to fumble around to find the eject button so I could pop my Tsushima disc in. So yeah!

 

[Nesther]

Why would I do that instead of simply using the controller? Same with ejecting discs.

 

[laxu]

It's the eject disc button that causes trouble for me. If I am not playing on the PS4 regularly I forget where the button is and where the disc goes in and out.

 

[Hydeus]

Yes easier than the button on my wife.

 

[Beef Supreme]

Hold on! So, you're telling me there's a power button?

 

[MarcelRguez]

Only because I have a vertical stand for my base model, and I know it's on the right side of the console.

 

[Mosaica]

I can never remember which is Power and which is Eject. Need a look at them tiny ass symbols.

 

[ShyMel]

Nope, I have a habit of pressing eject when I need to hit the power button and vice versa. I mostly just use the controller and menu options to turn it off and remove discs.

 

[DSoup]

I hope to hell that PS5 has two physical buttons with clear iconography visible in the day and glowing LEDs for power and eject symbols visible in low-light situations. Both PS3 and PS4 are awful in this regard.

I have cheap crappy devices that do a better job of this.

 

[Mukrab]

I cant stand being in the dark unless im going to sleep. i turn my lights on when i wake up and turn them off when i go to sleep. It doesn't matter what im doing. I play games and watch movies with the lights on.

 

[FFNB]

Hell no. I just poke at it until it powers on. Or, you know, use the controller to power it on and off instead...

Actually, even when the lights are on, it's hard to find that tiny as fucking button. I just know it's on the side of the machine by the disc tray. I almost always end up pressing the Eject button instead, but since that powers the system on too, I just roll with it.

 

[mclem]

I grab the controller, I press the round thing in the middle. Easy.

 

[wrowa]

I never remeber which button is eject and which one is power on the normal PS4. It's always a 50:50 chance.

 

[Minamu]

Yesteeday I couldn't even find the disc slot for inserting GoT, that's how rarely I touch my ps4. I tried poking the white light section multiple times lol.

 

[EJS]

I use the controller to turn the system on and I am mostly digital so I would need to look at the console for a minute to figure out the eject, lol.

 

[EJS]

Yes easier than the button on my wife.

[KrillinLikeAVillan]

I forgot that thing has a power button.

 

[Deleted member 4212]

Whenever the electricity goes out and I have to re-learn how to turn on a PS4 Pro, it's always a struggle.

 

[Faceless_Caesar]

The only good thing I can say about the PS4 Pro power button is that it is an actual button and not the capacitive kind used on the original PS4 model. Mine used to turn itself on and off all the time. The labels on all of the console's buttons are impossible to see and I have to find the buttons themselves by feel.

 

[Randam]

But why?

I played tlou 2 on my pc monitor.
PC for standing in arms reach on my desk, but I still shut it down using my controller.

 

[RPG]

Who needs the button ? I press the ps 4 controller

Click to shrink...

This.

 

[platocplx]

Easily by pressing my controller.

 

[giancarlo123x]

Yes but I use the controller 99.9 percent of the time.

 

[Love Machine]

Who needs the button ? I press the ps 4 controller

Click to shrink...

This is the most dignified answer.

 

[Hieroph]

Yes. It's on the controller, easy to find.

But it's also easier to find in the dark on the actual system than on any other system, thanks to the design. Once you put your finger on it you know exactly where you are.

 

[Goddo Hando]

i've owned a ps4 since launch and i still have to google how to turn it on and off without using my controller. As of right this minute i couldn't tell you how to do it lol
