> developed unfixable drift It's definitely fixable, by both Meta and yourself [1]. I've done it twice. A replacement kit is $14 on Amazon. You would think joysticks would be a solved problem by now, but no. Meta chose garbage, with the same garbage installed in the quest pro controllers that are not really serviceable, from being glued together and jam packed with electronics (3 camera inside out tracking in each controller). Battery can also be replaced, but with somewhat ridiculous effort [2].

  Btw, I call it garbage because of the five Quest headsets I have, four have developed drift.

    Thanks for the awesome info. Edit: I just took a look at the battery replacement instructions. Ouch.

The Quest 2 has a NON-REPLACEABLE battery? Whoa. I was considering buying one, but I won't buy it anymore.
