    Default Good idea/bad idea: using static duster on game consoles?

    Over time a lot of dust piles up on my game consoles, especially noticeable on the black ones. I hear a lot of good things about those dusters that use static electricity to attract dust onto them, but I can imagine the bristles touching the connectors while I sweep it over the cartridge slots, which doesn't sound like a good thing.

    What do you think?

    You could always go with "better safe than sorry" and just not use it where your worried but I doubt that anything bad could happen from cleaning the outside of a console. Even if it touches a cartridge connector contact your more than likely going to safe.

    I'm a collector, but only to a certain extent.
    Not as extreme as Rickstilwell though.[/quote]
