Hello Meta/Oculus forums. My left controller started drifting after like 16-20 hours of play after I first got the Quest 2. I got it around March 31st, and I started using it on April 1st. I have tried blowing into the stick socket and taking the battery out for 30 minutes. Wondering if there are any long-term fixes/permanent fixes to this issue.
Thanks,
UQX

Setting a deadzone just temporarily masks the issue and makes your joystick less responsive. Since it's presumably under warranty, have support replace it. The joystick module can be replaced but if you are still under warranty there's no point.
