So I was cleaning my Rift S Left Controller joystick to decrease the chance of drifting without actually touching the joystick, there might be a chemical solution inside the actual controller I'm not sure but I did the same thing to the other controller, and it's fine. The left controller however worked better after the cleaning I could select stuff without it going crazy from the joystick just barely being touched, but I don't see any white light signifying it's on and it is consistently vibrating now with batteries, and it shows as if it's not responding to the controller at all. I switched out the battery and waited 4 minutes. I've felt for any fluid in the battery socket area and I have the controller upside down for any fluid residue to possibly leak away from anything on the inside if it did indeed get inside..My question is ...is the vibrating signifying I need a new controller -.- ?
Hello @Yuuki56! We would love to go ahead and assist you with your left controller. We completely understand how it can feel when you're not able to us your controllers and we appreciate you changing out the battery.
we would really appreciate it if you could please try the following steps to get this issue corrected.
Remove unsupported third-party accessories that may affect power, battery fit, or controller detection. For example, rechargeable grips, controller covers, etc.
Please let us know the LED status of the light on the controller after changing the battery (blinking, solid, or no light at all)
if a blinking or solid light appears, please try to unpair and pair the controller to the headset.
We look forward to hearing back from you soon!
