Is any Quest 3 user suffering from controller drift defect?

I got my new Quest.3 from a retailer in Korea with full of enthusiasm. After few hours of try, the right analog stick suddenly sensed towards the right side although I did not physically push it. 

I found out that this is well known issue for Quest.2 and Quest Pro. Yet, I haven't heard from anyone experiencing the same issue with Quest.3. I am pretty much disappointed to have this issue as an early buyer...... Please let me know if anyone can give me tip for hotfix

I’m also having trouble before it was just moving backwards where I had stick drift but now it’s also when I move forward completely causing me to stop in games

So, I got my oculus last Christmas, so it’s been over a year since I got my oculus and I have stick drift, the stick dead-zone recalibration thing doesn’t work for me if anything it makes mine worse, so I’m really asking what kind of tools should I use to get rid of stick drift

my left stick just dropped into the casing 2 mm deep, it still moves normally, but in software its stuck on the upper left corner and will only move slighly. i allready ordered some cheap replacement sticks and will try to pry the controller open and replace them. and yes this voids varrenty, but im living in germany, and i somehow doubt that support for this is....a comfortable way for me. im writing here because maybe someone got a sparkling idea before i start with opening the controller? i doubt it but worth a shot at least

@RunningKoala7792  unfortunately you joystick condition sounds terminal. There are some very good youtube tutorials on how to replace the joystick module. Just be careful of the little ribbon cables. 

good luck.

I have a Meta Quest 3 still in warranty, new with less than a year, and i have already on my left controller a very prominent stick drift.
I already tryied all the solutions in the settings suggested, but i'm starting to fear is hardware build quality problem.


The Quest 3 is by no means a cheap product, i would not expect a problem like this, this early, on the controllers it get shipped with.
