I purchased a Meta Quest 3 from my local Argos last week, and right out the box, the analog sticks on the controllers feel a bit wobbly. They make a clicking noise every time they get back into neutral position, and almost feel as though they get stuck in place when let go of.
I'm not getting any stick drift or unresponsiveness or anything, it just doesn't quite feel right compared to the smoothness and quality feel of, say, the analog sticks of the DualShock 4 I've been using for the past half decade.
I just want to double check that the controllers are just designed that way, or mine are just faulty. Thanks!

I have the same loosy sticks issue, mostly on the right controller. By surfing the web I could find many many threads talking about this, so bad pixels and loosy controllers are just the way the Quest 3 is now built. I already replaced mine 1 time, and still get the same issues. I saw so many people replacing their Quest 3 and getting a worse one, that I will not try again. Unfortunatly we have to leave with all these bad build quality defects, and that's a shame !
same here my first headset had a broken fan and now this one has a stiff/loose stick on the left controller but im not sure if its worth having to send it all back yet again over
