 Description   

I downloaded the new Minecraft PE 0.12.1 onto my iPad Air 2 running iOS 8. I am using a Mad Catz C.T.R.L i controller that I bought to play Minecraft on the iPad. Everything connects and works pretty well. One major issue I found with controller support is that when I use the two joysticks at the same time to move forward AND turn at the same time (a feature that typically works really well on a controller) the movement on the screen is really jittery. It's almost like the game or iPad can only understand the movement from one joystick or the other, but not both at the same time. I can use each joystick independently and everything is smooth, but when I try to use both to move forward and turn at the same time it gets really jittery.

In this youtube video that I recorded (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLt-PAXhC8k) you can see I fly up, move forward, back, left, right and turn with out any jitteriness, but when I try to move forward and turn at the same time it begins to jitter/stutter.

Still a problem on 0.13.0, using iPod Touch 5th generation and Mad Catz CTRLi. :/

I wish they would actually resolve this issue instead of just marking the thread "Resolved". Or has anyone found the post that isn't a duplicate so we can see if there is a fix that they're just not reposting per thread of similar issue?

Still not fixed with the 0.12.3 update

Over 1month of us reporting this "officially"
Officially we have not even had an acknowledgment the bug exists & makes it very unplayable with a game controller..

Seems others are having the same trouble.

Ya I have the steel series stratus Xl controller and same thing. You have to stop to turn the camera or swim in water or sprint.

I can reproduce this problem as well using my SteelSeries Stratus XL Controller.

Here is a video I made demonstrating the bug.
