Quest 3 owners etc

Thanks all for replies, Drift is not terrible at the moment, but since I have extended warranty to April 27 from the Big A**** I might use it down the line.

I have even read on Reddit that actually blowing through a straw to the thumbstick can help with drift and some seem to have sworn by the method, but I can imagine moisture from breath wouldn't be good, I have used a air duster though..

If you look the image of the white joystick I removed you can see the particles of conductive track that came out of the joystick and were trapped by the topper.

Yep you do have the technical ability to strip down the controller to those small parts, and re-assemble again, don't think I would have the same confidence to do that.

I did strip the joystick down just to see what was inside, but replacing the joystick module in the controller is straightforward. There are some decent tutorials on the fix my oculus YouTube channel and the replacement sticks are cheap.

It's worth watching a few videos, since some show different angles etc.

I found some broken controllers on Facebook to cannibalise and also therefore practice on.

I really need my original Quest Pro left controller thumbstick replaced. I'm just too scared to open up a £150 controller. :eek:

I attempted to switch the joystick on my left controller after getting bad drift. It went fine until it came to putting it back together as I just couldn't get a ribbon to hold back in place, the positioning of it was so awkward. I just gave up and bought a new controller.

This is why I prefer someone who knows what they are doing to fix mine.

yer seen a lot of reports of that as well
 
its not user freindly when it comes to voice chat and applcaitions.
having to come all the way out of the menu to then be able to go back to your app is rubbish.
the alternative is having a floating VC control panel in your game getting in the way of what your doing and not being able to ancher it some were :mad:
