Fixing stick drift on your Steam Deck can be a bit tricky, but here's a quick guide! First, try recalibrating the thumbsticks through the Steam Deck's settings. If that doesn't work, a good old-fashioned reboot might do the trick. Sometimes, the issue could be dust or debris, so giving the thumbsticks a careful clean with some compressed air can help. If all else fails, contacting Steam support or considering a repair might be your next step. Remember, it's crucial to be gentle with your device to avoid further damage.

Honestly, just send it in for repair if recalibrating doesn't help. Not worth messing up your Steam Deck trying to be a DIY guru when you're not.
