A hot potato: Not even a week after Valve’s Steam Deck launch, multiple early adopters have reported drifting joysticks. The portable PC’s sticks are relatively easily replaceable, but Valve still advises customers against attempting at-home repairs.

Both posted videos showing the system’s controller input testing screen registering input while the thumbstick isn’t moving. Drifting starts after the stick is moved and reset to the neutral position.
