I’m just wondering if everyone’s sticks are a bit noisy. It’s not a huge deal as they still work fine I have no stick drift. I’ve just noticed the sticks are much louder than my Xbox controllers. I don’t have any sound when going in a circle just when the stick is first pushed and it’s most noticeable when pushing forward. Both of my sticks do this but right side is a bit louder. It also does not make the sound everytime.
yup, they are so i ended up getting these (in black though) https://www.amazon.com/Protectors-Protection-Compatible-Steam-Deck-Controller/dp/B0B631XBZ9/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=joystick+rubber+protection&qid=1701097077&sr=8-2
I’ve seen those. It keeps the sticks from hitting the body. That’s not the sound I’m talking about it. It makes the click sound as soon as you move the stick. I grabbed my ps5 controllers and they both do this as well. I guess I notice it more when I’m playing in the am and the room is quiet and volume is turned down. When I play my ps5 my stereo is on or I’m wearing a headset so I never noticed the sound before.
I have the OG deck and my sticks have always had weird clicking when I move them occasionally . I usually play with noise canceling headphones so I don’t think about it too much and I figure I’ll switch them out for gulikit sticks in the future anyways.
My LCD has that too, you will forget about it after a few days.
Just got my OLED, exact same sound (that click when initially moving the stick, especially up). My LCD isn’t as loud as this but I don’t remember if it was in the first place (if it got better with time), or if it was always quieter
