But Valve now tells us that what\u2019s going on is a \u201cdeadzone calibration issue\u201d \u2014 which indicates this is a software problem, not a hardware one \u2014 and that the team has already shipped a fix for it.<\/p>\n Joystick drift is an issue that causes your character or cursor in a game to continue moving even when you aren\u2019t actually pushing the joystick in a direction. It\u2019s a problem many have experienced with the Nintendo Switch\u2019s Joy-Con controllers. While Nintendo itself has suggested the issue will never be fully addressed<\/a> because Joy-Cons will wear down over time, it does repair drifting Joy-Con controllers for free<\/a>. Drift doesn\u2019t just appear on Joy-Cons, though; some have reported drift issues with the PS5\u2019s DualSense controllers<\/a>, too.<\/p>\n In three<\/a> different<\/a> videos<\/a> from the Steam Deck subreddit, you can see times when one of the thumbsticks continues to register an input while the user isn\u2019t touching the stick. Two of the users even showed the issue registering in the Steam Deck\u2019s calibration checker.<\/p>\n But according to Steam Deck team member Lawrence Yang, \u201cthe team has looked into these reports and has determined there was a deadzone calibration issue introduced in a recent firmware update. We have just shipped a fix to address the problem, and the team will continue to watch for reports related to this issue.\u201d<\/p>\n Given that the fix update has just shipped, we\u2019ll have to wait and see if it actually addresses the thumbstick drift issue. One of the Reddit users who had experienced drift, r\/Stijnnl, has already posted a video<\/a> with the update installed<\/a>. In a private message with The Verge<\/em>, Stijnnl said the drift issue seems to be fixed, but found that fine inputs are now \u201cless possible.\u201d<\/p>\n
