The VR controllers built to pair with the Valve Index Headsetare seeing widespread reports of a defect since their launch in June. According to Index Controller buyers, the two controllers’ joysticks are malfunctioning when the joystick is tilted and pressed like a button. Specifically, if the joystick is fully moved in a cardinal direction, it either requires significant pressure to recognize it’s been pressed or won’t recognize its been pressed whatsoever. The defect in the Valve Index Controllers will unfortunately not be corrected soon.

Once I finally figured out after several days what was causing my black screen issue, mine has been quite good. And I even returned the first one for replacement at Amazon.

All three headsets have had fucked up launches, although the Rift S issues will be fixed with a software or firmware update rather than needing a recall like the Reverb and Index.

Why would you ever need to tilt and press the joystick at the same time? I may remember one game that requires you to click the joystick and move. I think it was Fallout 4VR. But overall it's a pretty rare action.
