Quest Pro controllers jumpy / not tracking properly (a diary of my plight)

Final update: I had to factory reset my headset to get my controllers to track properly again. Unfortunately the headset OS updated and now the game I play, Breachers, crashes on startup on my Quest 2. That's me done with VR.

Trying to play some Breachers today, as is normal I have to restart my headset 5 or 6 times to get the Quest Pro controllers to track correctly with my Quest 2 headset, sometimes they stay in a static position and this seems to reset the connection to get it to work.

However today is especially worse, they randomly move their tracking positions about 4 inches every few seconds and then move back again, as you can imagine, if you're trying to aim a gun in VR it makes it pretty much impossible.

After about 45 minutes of repairing, restarting and restarting the headset I've given up and come to the forums to complain. It's so frustrating when you want to pick up your headset and play a game for 30 minutes but you have to fiddle around first, this time it was completely unresolvable.

Signing off with a bust controller.

Tracking wouldn't work, tried to unpair and repair but my option button had stopped working.

Tried to pop off the top to see if there was any dust blocking it, broke it.

The end.

Tracking on controllers is instantly good after the factory reset. I'll tell you what though... that setup/welcome video that you're forced to sit through sure is getting annoying.

Coming back here again to keep my diary of controllers doing weird tracking. Today doing breachers it moved out of its real world position by a few inches. Restarted the headset (lost the match I was in for restarting) and after starting a new one it didn't take long to move a few inches out of alignment off from where they were, really threw off my aim. Out of frustration I just turned it off. I'll factory reset again when I can be bothered dealing with it and going through that annoying as hell welcome video.

Back again, haven't played the Quest for a few days, but wanted a quick game of breachers, would the Gods be shining and allow an enjoyable experience.... No, I start the quest up, I'm hopeful but the left controller fails to track correctly, that's ok I thought I'll restart and give it one more go... I start up, boom it registers the controllers and tracks. I wait patiently and load into my first match, boop, the right controller moves about half a foot above where it is in real life, my aim is off, I'm now factory reseting... I quick bit of fun was not to be, is it ever to be? Probably not.

Slightly concerning experience after factory resetting this time. It said I owned no apps and that I had to buy everything new again. Luckily after another restart they came back.

Noting on loading up Breachers, I am stuck with the permanent noise of the 'set your boundary' music while I play the game. Another bug to add to the list.

Unfortunately it seems like the headset OS updated and now Breachers won't run at all on my Quest 2. I guess that's me finished with VR.

Popped round a corner today, crucial moment, 1 person vs 1 person left and then... my right hand jumped about a foot higher, pointing my gun directly at the ground. Safe to say I get merc'd by the other guy. Thank you amazing Quest Pro controllers for your ever growing reliability
