Help me pls its stick drift

So I have tried the recalibration and I dont got the cash to replace the control, it isnt physically beaten and I take good care of it but the stick is making it go back, constantly, nothing stops it. I have wiggled the joystick like it is a button to see if it was dirt in it and it hasnt worked, i worry i cant use it anymore. Does anyone have any advice to fix this? Thank you so much in advance.

    Hey there Littlepixiepop!

     

    We hear that your controller is drifting even after recalibrating, that's of course not the ideal Metaverse experience, so let's see what we can do to get this problem fixed.

     

    So to start us off, we have a few steps here that can possibly help resolve this problem, so let's give them a try.

     

    First off, please try cleaning the controllers with a non-abrasive antibacterial wipe ( no alcohol), please also follow our cleaning guide here.

    If that doesn't fix the problem, then please remove the battery for at least 30 seconds and try a new battery in case that your current one is causing the problem. (If you're using Meta Quest Pro controllers, then please skip this step)

     

    Last step for now, since you've already tried recalibrating and it didn't do the trick, then please also try unpairing and pairing your controllers again, you can follow our guide here.

     

    Additionally, if you use any unsupported third-party accessories that may affect thumbstick motion or controller detection, for example controller covers, attachments etc... Then please also remove them as they're not guaranteed to work in tandem with your controllers.

     

    Let us know how you get on with these steps and if they've managed to get you back into a stick drift free Metaverse! 

    We look forward to hearing back from you!
