The Steam Deck was delivered to the first customers yesterday, and as more people started to get their hands on Valve’s new machine, the first reports of problems with the analog sticks have started to emerge.
Analog drift has already been discussed extensively on the controls of the main console manufacturers, be it PlayStation with Dualshock or DualSense, Nintendo with Joy-cons, or Microsoft with its Xbox controllers, but now it’s time for Valve starting to face reports around analog sticks not working properly.
As shared by Wario64 on Twitter, there have already been reports on Reddit about Steam Deck analogs that start to stop working perfectly after a few hours of use and exhibit drift, which can become annoying.
Through the tool to experience controller latency, players capture the drift on the right stick of their Steam Deck and share with the world how the controller continues to register movement, even when no one is touching it.
For a handheld that is often compared to the Nintendo Switch, the Steam Deck did not copy one of its biggest problems.
