Help! My New OLED is Already Experiencing Stick Drift – What Should I Do?

If the stick drift isn’t too severe, you might want to try increasing the dead zone in your settings. This could help minimize the drift while you figure things out.

I’ve been in a similar situation with my device, which started drifting after a couple of months. I usually keep zero dead zone set up, but sometimes I can adjust the sticks’ positions to stop the drifting temporarily. Has anyone else noticed this trend?

Since your OLED is only a month old, it would be smart to contact Valve support. Usually, these kinds of issues should be covered under warranty, especially so soon after purchase!

Before you consider returning it, try cleaning the area with some canned air. Sometimes dust or debris can cause issues like stick drift!
