Annoyingly my left controller is still broken. It will connect briefly, when I take out the batteries and put them back in, and then it disconnects then reconnects a couple times before it just completely stops trying to pair but the light stays on and keeps blinking. Do you know a possible way to fix this or will I have to buy a new controller?

THANK YOU! Step at 2:00 min mark worked! I tried different batteries. The tallest battery with the highest pin worked! Seems with wear, the contact pin on the controller battery compartment gets weak so it needs a taller battery to make contact! The battery on the right controller worked on the right but not on the left. I tried every method, dozens of videos and months of refusing to buy a new controller 😭. I am so happy! Can't thank you enough!

For any others who haven't used their rig in a while and are having issues: My problem was that the system just inisisted that my right controller was dead. I'd swapped batteries, tried the tin foil and even sanded the negative terminal to ensure good connection. The controller powered up and the light on the ring blinked but the headset wouldn't see it. I used the Quest app to remove and re-pair the controller which worked fine but same issue. Just said 0% and the headset wouldn't acknowledge it was connected. I factory reset the headset and it immediately took a firmware update for the right controller. Now it's working fine.

My controllers are turning on, no spring issues, and all. But my right controller is failing to remain on and instead sounds like its buzzing and constantly vibrating and struggling to stay on. I've put aluminum foil on but that just appears to not do anything but boost the issue. The controller was on and working fine all day from about 4-8 am and then proceeded to struggle to stay on. I'm currently trying to find a solution but none have come up. This controller hasn't been smacked on anything and hasn't been dropped, but it did have a habit of fading out of existence (figure of speech for it drifting off) while playing games. Im still trying to figure it out so if you have any ideas please tell me-

Update: I have one solution that might work for you. I was having the same problem. First try replacing both batteries with new ones or different batteries then turn your oculus off for 5mins and when you turn it back on move yourself into a different room. I noticed that one of my controllers did not work in my room area anymore so try finding a new spot to play. Keep trying different area until it works again
