View ever-so-slightly tilted?

Having just got my Rift I find it has an ever-so-slight leftward tilt which cannot be fixed by repeating the setup process. I'm guessing the gyros need a recal.

I read about this before, heard a fix was incoming (back in early April I think)... is there any updates on that? I know Oculus were sending a tool to some users who wrote in to support, is there somewhere we can download this tool ourselves now?

@cybereality - do you know of any updates on this issue?

Maybe your left eye is slightly lower than your right? Or perhaps you always sleep on your left side, causing your brain to squish into the left side of your head. This would cause the left to be slightly heavier and may cause you to tilt your head to the left slightly without noticing.

I have the same issue my view has a 1-3 degree roll/tilt to it.
Well at least it did in the first couple of days. Not sure if its still there maybe i got used to it.
Have to check again.

Sometimes it seems like I can get it to be level, other times it's a couple of degrees off. How irritating!

Maybe my house is rocking slowly from side to side.

By chance would one be having a little of the Amber nectar when this tilt business happens ?
A PC with lots of gadgets inside and a thing to see in 3D that you put on your head.

Unfortunately not! 

Worse it seems to be inconsistent. Sometimes I can get rid of it, by unplugging the Rift for a bit, or by resetting the camera view. It can often come back, it seems, on removing and re-applying the headset (I guess it turns the gyros off with the screens, or some other process is occurring that allows it to adopt a different "horizon" when you put it back on).

My DK2 doesn't give me this tilted sensation, though. Going back to that after using CV1 is a bit of a shock though, haha.

I'm having this same issue, 3 days in a row now since I got my CV1, I actually noticed it when it happened. Moved the sensor all over the place didn't help.
