Created attachment 188939 [details]
Mouse moving down and right infinitely as soon as I turn on my controller.

SUMMARY
The new Game Controller plugin makes the cursor always go to the inferior right corner as soon as a controller gets connected, making the mouse unusable and having to kill KWin to get the mouse working again.

Disconnecting the controller does not fix the issue. As soon as it's connected, it gets unusable.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have the gamecontrollerEnabled=true line in kwinrc (this is the default on Git Master)
2. Connect the result

OBSERVED RESULT
Summary. And please see de attached 

EXPECTED RESULT
The mouse should be freely movable as always and not cause any bugs.
