[@lucasbohonak6634]

Hey when you removed the black disk was it very loose?

[@MudZeePlayGamer]

I tried out the last one, it worked wonders for the drift, just the controller wont detect if my finger or thumb is on it anymore and I cannot fix it Edit:nvm, it fixed itself after a day

[@l0wkey529]

@VR Reviews Hey does your controller still track you hand movements or position when resting your hand on the buttons? If so, what works and what doesn’t?

[@Straight_outtacompton]

Is their other ways to fix it?

[@venomousempire1239]

Scuff marks can be taken off with a rubber

[@lordacid888]

The what?

[@lordacid888]

@AnyDom lmao

[@laos85]

Guys, is so easy to fix it. The main cause is the dirt inside. You just need to disassemble the controller by removing black plate then clean. Good as new no need to waste time sending it somewhere

[@KazerZaber]

Get rid of sticks and us touch pads, like on laptops, like sticks, it’s that simple

[@xxyblocxx]

They just need to add an option for adjustable deadzones.

Drift backwards made playing anything with locomotion a real nightmare. Thanks to you and some contact cleaner - my controllers feel like brandnew! Just amazing, thank you!

Especially like snap turning instead of smooth or teleport controls

I used contact cleaner and now I have stick drift bruh

[@SnartLord]

The "Advanced Method" really works, now all I have to do if the drift comes back is do it all over again but thankfully after you do it once it is very easy to do the second time. Thank you for this valuable information, I no longer have to worry about wasting money on another controller.

[@seanh6179]

Thank you!!! I haven't played with my Quest 2 for months because of the annoying stick drift, and paying $99 for each controller didn't make any sense. I ended up taking off the black cover, pulling off the joystick cap and slowly dripped some 99% rubbing alcohol inside the mechanism while moving it constantly, then used an air compressor to help dry it out. Fixed basically all of my stick drift, it hasn't returned yet. I ended up purchasing a joystick repair kit off Amazon for $20.00 which replaces the entire system and seems to be almost 100% successful, but I'll keep it aside until the stick drift returns one day.

[@Molotov82]

its a good fix and it probably make it work for a while. But all analogs sticks like this is a "ticking bomb". in time they "wear out" and when the stick is straigt up it might go outside the deadzone and start to drift. i think the last update will add the controller configuration option were you can calibrate the stick deadzone so that can help also. i have fixed hundreds of analog sticks to many controller types so all fixes are just "borrowed time" more or less :)

[@VRReviews11]

Good to know, thanks for sharing! On a side note, I opened up an analogue joystick from a 70s pong game the other day and although everything was chunkier it all seemed a lot more durable than the ones we have today.

[@matthewweinberger7023]

you seem like the guy to ask, my joystick on a launch day q1 controller has really jumpy/erratic input where i move the stick left but it registers a right movement and jumps around. is that something easily fixed or should i try find a second hand replacement

[@Molotov82]

They'll provide a few dumb suggestions like cleaning the controller, or changing the battery, and ask you to provide a video of the problem. 6. Be sad because they probably won't help you. 7. Struggle to record a video of the problem. Change the batteries so they won't say "aah it's because your batteries are at 10%" 8. Fail to reproduce the problem 9. Reset the controller deadzone 10. It WAS the batteries all along 11. Thank the Oculus agent for their email.

What fixed it for me was cutting off a bit of the spring coil. Not a lot just the top skinny part. Sure it doesn't go back to the middle as fast as it did before, but it is a hell of a lot better than stick drift. Also when reinserting the joy stick push hard until you hear a low pop, this comes after the high pitch pop.

From my experience, the best way to test drift issues is on the setting menu and search for deadzone calibration then move the stick in circular motion and make sure that the stick is touching the corners while you slowly moving it. You will notice the drift when the white dot suddenly moves to the center even if you are moving the stick along its side.

I fixed the drift on my switch and oculus by using a plastic lubricant and spraying it under the axle controllers without taking them apart. The cause of the drift is due to the component stiffening up. Lubing them is a big part of long-term maintenance. I only had to do it once, and that was a long time ago. Great video, though; it was nice to see inside of the controller. Edit: spelling error

This keeps happening to me - happened to both my Q2 controllers and has also happened to every Xbox gamepad I've owned over the last few years.

Regarding joystick cap if it was snapped off the spring, it must (really must) be snapped again to the cap base, that makes it give some pressure and keep the cap in one piece, I broke it because it did split from the loose end and upwards, breaking it just under the thumb protection. While ordered a new cap I just assembled the loosen part and snapped the spring again and it works temporarily

[@gamingpig2422]

very simple method: go in to settings an click device the scroll down to a setting that says something like switch thumbstick and click it. Now you will hopefully move forwards with your RIGHT controller and turn with your LEFT controller you will prob get used to it after a while

[@gaz3146]

Wrong, if you do these the stick drift will always reappear not long after. The only way to get rid of it is to strip down the controller completely and take apart the actual thumbstick. You need to bend the contacts in the thumbstick up, for better contact.

Had some pretty bad stick drift for the last couple of months, tried rubbing alcohol on the stick, but it did nothing. But now, after some deformation on the edges and 10 euros spent, the stick drift is finally gone. So I know can begin getting used to an undrifting stick. Thank you
