I used to use CRC Electrical Contact Cleaner but this time decided to try the Deoxit recommended to me. The product I'm now linking, DeoxIT, was recommended by /u/guitarokx. Make sure what you get says it's plastic safe & also a lubricant. Turns out, ordinary contact cleaner can make the problem worse in the long run. Regardless, the contact cleaner solution should extend the life of your Touch controllers by at least another year or two, though on mine I do have to spray more in every couple of months or so as the drift returns. From what I gather, I think it's the same defect as was found in the Nintendo Switch thumbsticks. I think the debris is coming from a degenerative manufacturing defect that will get worse over time. Your Touch controllers will be good as new.Īt least. Spray some Plastic Safe & Lubricating Electrical Contact Cleaner underneath your thumbstick and then let it dry for a few hours. This is due to debris getting stuck underneath the thumbstick. I see this so often now - people complaining about the stick drift on their Touch controllers. There are other contact cleaners, but these are the only two I have personal experience with. However, this stuff can break your xy/ab buttons if you get any into them, so be very careful. Also, due to being alcohol based it will dry out the plastics and likely irreparably ruin your controllers over time.ĭeoxit will fix your sticks. Spray a drop of electrical contact cleaner into the joystick of your Rift-S/Quest controller.ĬRC Cleaner sort-of works, but the drift will come back after a few months.
