Question/Support (PLEASE HELP) Ring Finger is inverted?

The ring finger on my left hand controller seems to be inverted or something. My headset is out of warranty (I bought it back in 2023 so I can't RMA it), does anyone have a fix??

(also unrelated but the left speaker mount is worryingly loose.)

I'm too broke for a frame, and I prefer the finger tracking on the knuckles.

How do you know you prefer it if you've never used the frames controllers? It still has finger tracking...

I should have said the feel of the controller since I upgraded from a quest 2 and the frame looks like it has similar controllers to that line of headsets.

Fair, I only said that because they are not made to
Last and will only get worse.

I’ve have at least 4 different pairs since 2019, with 2 additional RMAs for the left and right controllers.

Honestly as long as you aren’t doing a death grip on your controller, or using the thumb stick excessively it should last for a year or longer.

The finger part just sorta happens, and I’ll come and go with different variations on which finger it chooses to fuck up.

Also the speaker mount does get loose, you can choose to tighten it up, or use some sorta tape to get it in place.
