Meta Quest 2: Why does my left controller stick have drift?

Sat, 09 Aug 2025 22:52:18 -0700

I was playing the walking dead: saints and sinners for the first time and I noticed I was slowly strafing to the right. I took it as the game's push mechanic and just kept playing. I then hopped onto vrchat, and truly noticed the stick drift. I haven't seen any repair guides for the quest’s controllers, so I'm wondering if anyone knows a fix?

Meta Quest 3: Charging pogo pinout - diy replacement of dock

Wed, 11 Mar 2026 08:56:43 -0700

I want to make myself a charging dock out of the box the headset came in but I'd need to know the pinout and possible handshake I would need to mimic. Could anyone who has the dock measure the voltages and see/record and communication over the data pin?

well I let my brother borrow my oculus quest 2 expecting to get it back in the same good condition, but he gave it back with a lot of yellow dots and lines. I'm guessing this is sun damage. I want to know if its possible to replace the display, and if you can how?

Oculus Rift CV1: Ribbon cable (headphones/rear tracking sensors) broken

Sun, 30 Jun 2024 15:01:02 -0700

Hey guys...

Some days ago, I bought one CV1 it from a friend. But unfortunately in the transport the ribbon cable in headband it broke. I tried repair this ribbon cable but I don't had success. I tried talk with the Oculus Support...I asked if they send me another headband for make my rift 100% again but apparently, they do not want help me. I know how disassembly/assembly my rift, this is no worry for me...but they said basically "Sorry to hear that Rift was damaged"...short answer: buy another one.

Anyone can help me about this problem? How can repair? Where find something that can use for fix?

I tried amend the ribbon cable using wires but when I test continuity with multimeter any pin doesn't work.

1- Before try fix, I tested continuity between this pins and the headphone pins, it's working.

2- I received the oculus in this situation. I needed cut the ribbon cable after this hole because was torn.

3- Conversation with the Oculus Support Team

3 - Soldered pins with wires in the both sides, at the moment, all that's fine. I tested again the continuity between the blue wire sides, it's working too...but if a test between the blue wire side and headphone contact...not working :( (maybe why I use this wire? need another wire type?)

4 - Another picture without zoom

Oculus Rift CV1: Any suggestions on cable repair.

Sun, 20 Apr 2025 19:29:37 -0700

Bought a headset from a friend. cable leading to the HDMI and USB split was badly twisted some how and I believe there is a broken wire. Any suggestions? PC identifies headset, and I am able to get sound and tracking. But no visuals within the headset itself.

Meta Quest 2: Quest 2 controller face button suddenly mushy and doesn't work

Sat, 12 Aug 2023 12:11:39 -0700

Hi, so my Quest 2 controllers were working almost perfectly fine, but there was small amount of joystick drift developing. I finally got fed up with it today, and sprayed some DeoxIT D5 electrical contact cleaner in there according to these instructions:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iitoevOX...

The joystick drift was completely fixed, and I put the black cover plates back onto the controller after some testing.

However, once I started playing a game, I noticed that my X button felt strange. It was mushy and didn't have a clicking feeling, and I needed to press the button quite hard to get it to activate. I couldn't find a video showing exactly how the button sensor is constructed, but it feels like the spring was still working, but the membrane was stuck permanently down or broken somehow, and wasn't clicking up and down anymore.

To get at the buttons it seems I needed to fully disassemble the controller, which I don't quite dare to do at the moment. So instead I decided to spray a bit more contact cleaner into the button and mash it up and down a few times to see if that would help. Instead, the button became completely nonfunctional - it wouldn't activate regardless of how I pressed it. And the mushy feeling remains.

Has anyone disassembled the face buttons on these controllers before? Can you think of anything that might explain the mushy feeling / not working? It was completely fine before I sprayed the contact cleaner, how can liquid contact cleaner affect the button mechanically in this way?

Is this merely the membrane being dirty or stuck, and fixable if I disassemble the entire thing and pop it back out? Or was I just unlucky and the button has failed/broken at coincidentally the same time? I can't find any replacement parts for the buttons, unlike the analogue stick sensors.

I spilt a pretty small amount of water on my Meta 2 headset, it was working properly but now it isn't turning on. It still displays the powering on screen, but it won't stop. The controllers won't connect either, but nothing happened to the controllers.
