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

Yeah, I can find it just fine. I just know where it is because I've pressed it enough to have it ingrained, I guess. Is that weird?
Who uses their power button? That said I think it's along the left side.
Now where the fuck the eject button is, I don't know.

I needed it recently. It hard-locked on the PSN Store of all places, I had to hold the power button down to get it to turn off.
... and needed a light to find it.
I've had issues where my DS4 has desynced if I haven't played with my PS4 in awhile, which forces me to have to do a dumb manual sync.
I don't think I've ever used the power button beyond maybe setting it up for the first time. I always use the PS button on the controller.
I probably have a 50/50 shot of either hitting the power button or accidentally hitting the eject button instead in the dark
And today after 5 years I learned that there are symbols on the power and eject buttons of my PS4.

This. Whoever thought of that power/eject button design wasn't thinking straight.
LOL. No. I've turned my Pro off physically like four times ever so I'm lost as shit in the dark if it cuts off with a power outage or something
It's on the far left. I get that it's hard to see, but it's kind of hard to miss unless you don't know where the console itself is.
it's 50/50 of either the power button or disc eject button. Ugh I really hope PS5 allows powering off remotely. I have my logitech harmony hooked up to it, but due to PS4's weird standards compared to Xbox One, you can not turn it off with a remote. Mildly annoying.
I can find it... but I've only needed to like 5 times since 2013. I use the controller to put it on/off since then. Both base and Pro.
Pro? yes.
Base? kinda. Always have to run my finger and pray I don't hit the eject button by mistake.

It's..always in the same place. Every time. I didn't know people had trouble with it until tonight.
poll is a bit annoyingly worded... But of course why wouldn't i? Second why not use the controller? Third why not just turn the lights on?
always use the controller, which can also turn it off. but also never had the occasion to turn the console off in the dark.
Sure, but it shouldn't be needed.
Why not just make a practical button instead.
I had to tape it up, I can't sleep with insanely bright lights or any light for that matter. I need to hide my controller under a towel when I'm charging it overnight.
Anytime I go to press the power button there is a 100% chance that I will first hit the eject button.
