 Description   

This issue affects Minecraft VR on the (about to be very popular) Samsung S8 and GearVR device.

I've paired the OUYA gamepad, OUYA is an android based game console, I have no issues with this gamepad on other games, only on minecraft.

I'm also aware that other users are reporting this same bug with other bluetooth gamepads, so it's gotta be something with Minecraft.

When you are not engaged with a minecraft dialog, the character won't stop spinning towards the left. The only way to make the character stop is to press the right hand joystick towards the right. This makes the game unusable, and it's very frustrating after all the investment a user has to go through to try and play minecraft in VR (S8 + GearVR + Joystick + Cost of the game)

Here's a video of the frustrating experience

I've tried unpairing and pairing the controller.
The controller has new batteries.
