Controller making click sound on thumb stick.
Hey everyone — wondering if anyone else has run into this.
So I’ve noticed that every time I move the right stick on my Meta Quest controller, there’s this audible clicking sound. Not the button press — I mean just from moving the stick around, like there’s a tiny internal snap or tap.
🟢 The left stick is totally silent and smooth.
:red_circle: The right stick makes this click/pop sound every time I move it, even just slightly.
I’ve read some people say it’s normal, part of the way the spring mechanism is built…
Others are saying it could be a defect, especially if the left stick isn’t doing the same thing.
It’s not affecting gameplay yet, but it’s starting to get into my head — and I don’t want this to turn into stick drift or wear down faster.
Just trying to figure out:
- Is this normal for the right controller?
- Or should I request a replacement or warranty check before it gets worse?
Appreciate any help or similar experiences. 🙏my father got me this for my birthday last week and I want to protect it at all costs
