How to calibrate the Steam Deck joystick
Honestly, just wiggle it around a bit till it feels right. Worked for me when I thought mine was acting up. Sometimes, the best fix is the simplest one, no need to dive into menus.

Calibrating your Steam Deck joystick is super easy! Just go to the Settings menu in SteamOS, then Controller Settings, and you'll find the 'Calibrate' option under the detected Steam Deck controller. Follow the on-screen instructions to calibrate. It's pretty straightforward and should sort out any drift issues or inaccuracies you're facing.
Make sure you really follow the calibration steps closely. It's not just about moving the joystick around; precision during calibration makes all the difference. Skip a step or rush it, and you'll be back to square one with unresponsive or jittery controls.
