Warning: I tried cleaning my PS5 with canned air versus a proper vacuum and the difference was huge.

The canned air just blew dust deeper into the vents (I could see it gather inside near the fan). Using a small USB vacuum, like the Opolar one, actually pulled everything out and my console dropped from 75 degrees Celsius to 62 under load. Has anyone found a better tool for this, maybe something with a brush attachment?

Honestly, that canned air move is basically just redecorating the inside of your PS5. Tbh a vacuum is the only way to actually get the dust out, not just rearrange it. I learned that the hard way too.

Actually, vacuums can cause static damage to electronics.

Yeah @leerobinson has a point, static is no joke. What do you even use to clean yours safely?
