How to Fix Quest 3 & 3S Controller Drift (Meta Quest 3 & 3S- Detailed Instructions)

This is a step by step procedure on eliminating Meta Quest 3 Controller Drift by cleaning the controller joystick. These are simple to follow instructions that will help you eliminate the aggravation that comes with a drifting Quest 3 controller. The Quest 3s uses the exact same controller as the Q3, so this procedures works for it as well.

Meta has made it even more difficult to get access to the transducer on the Quest 3, but I'll show you how to get the thumbstick cap off, modify it (so it's easy to clean in the future) and clean your transducer/joystick.

You should watch the video before starting any cleaning. Also, if your controllers are under warranty, that's an avenue you can also pursue.
