Stick Drift after today’s update
Prior to updating to 3.5.19, I experienced little to no issues with my deck. Immediately after updating, I decided to start up Warframe so I could do some grinding, but once I logged in I immediately began moving to the right. I was able to stop it by moving the left joystick to any other direction, but moving it even slightly right afterwards would continue to make them move in a straight line again. As for the right stick, it has a constant drift going down that stops after a little while, then starts again shortly after.

As previously stated, I never had issues before updating, and as far as I can tell there aren’t any issues with the hardware. Did anyone else experience stick drift after updating to 3.5.19 without prior issues, or is it a personal problem of mine?

Within Konsole, type thumbstick_cal

See if it fixes

If you don’t mind explaining, how do I access the console to input the command?

Go into Desktop Mode. If you don't have a desktop icon called "Konsole", then click on the "Steam Logo" in the bottom left of the desktop which will open up the applications menu similar to Windows. Under "System", you'll have the "Konsole" application.

If you open up the controller configuration for the game you are playing, you will see three options for the joystick deadzone source: None/Raw Input, Controller Preference, or Custom.

If you are getting stick drift, you can set it to either controller preference or custom. If you set it to custom, increase the dead zone inner until drift stops.

If set to controller preference, you can increase the deadzone by going to settings -> controller -> calibration and advanced settings -> joysticks. This is a global setting that will apply to all configurations when using controller preference as the joystick deadzone source.

Well, I just tried the thing invision said, and all it did was reverse the directions I mentioned in my post. I’ll just try what ugafan said and see if that works.

This worked perfectly, thank you.

This is why I stopped updating it and stayed on 3.4.11

Everything works

Same thing happened with me, jumped into Warframe as well and experienced the same drift to the right. Thought it was my settings since some of them had been reset as well, I randomly have to re-log in to Warframe with some settings reset again also.

Me ocurre lo mismo. Una vez que he actualizado, hay un drift horrible en el stick derecho. Aparte de que deja de funcionar el botón steam y no puedo ir al menú....
