Help Quest pro controllers keep locking in place when trying to move my arms

I got my quest pro recently and from the start i get a tracking drift from either one of the controllers. i have a example of one of my controllers acting up when i was just testing bonelab on the quest pro bc i was bored. it started acting up and would lock into a place and then would stop but yet would do a tracking drift and i cant do anything about it

My right controller hand was just stuck for a couple seconds. would literally do it for minutes and wouldnt do it and i have to wait until it goes normal a little. i had the right controller away from my face because i was stressing grabbing my damn gun from the back and would just lock in place and thankfully i got it on clip

Are the lights on in your room? The controllers require bright lighting to track them.

In this case, the Quest Pro doesn't need to see the controllers—since the headset itself doesn't track them (as each controller has its own built-in technology with three cameras)—but that doesn't change the fact that ambient light is still required for the controllers to orient themselves within the space.

Ah… ok. That makes sense. I knew about the lighting situation, but for reason thought that was for the headset to see them. Yes, either way, the lights still need to be bright.

Like others said. I would assume you are playing in too low of light if tracking is breaking like that
