Controller Grip Issue Prevents Item Release in Travel Game

Steps to Reproduce

1. Grab any item with my right controller
2. Although the grip is fully released, the magnet is still barely being detected
3. A non-zero value remains on the grip, preventing the item from being released
4. When not holding an item, my hand appears fully open
5. This issue only occurs in the game Reave

Explanation

My right Touch Plus (Q3) controller broke about a year ago. I had to epoxy the grip. It's nearly impossible to get it lined up perfectly, so it only releases about 95% of the way.

Travel is the only game that I encounter this, but I cannot let go of my right hand object once I'm holding one. It means I can't climb ladders, or change weapons mid run.

The proposed solution would be to reduce the grip factor number that determines a grab or release. .1 or even .15 seems like a good value to accommodate sticky or non-perfect controller grips.
