Controllers with stick drift react strangely to any input, not just when turn around. Sometimes you even move without touching the joystick.

So disabling the turn around function doesn't rule out anything.

If you are unsure if your controllers have stick drift, recalibrate them.
Settings - device - controllers - thumb stick and deadzone.
Your controllers have drift stick If you can't move the joystick in a circle without the indicator jumping in weird positions.

Hi notjaldolfyt 🙂

It looks to me like your controllers are having stick drift.
In this case, resetting the headset to factory settings won't help.
You're still under warranty, so you should open a support ticket.

    In the game i was using for the test, stick turning was disabled, so that can be ruled out.
