Leaked images reveal Xbox Elite 3 controller with mysterious new buttons

Hours after a smaller Xbox Cloud Gaming controller appeared on-line, Brazil’s Anatel regulator has additionally unintentionally printed images of what seems to be Microsoft’s upcoming Xbox Elite 3 controller. Technoblog You have posted images that present the successor to the Elite 2 controller, with an interchangeable D-Pad, paddles, and two new mysterious buttons.

The Elite 3 controller design seems to be extra refined this time, with the addition of two new scroll wheels on the backside that might be associated to controller changes or a new enter methodology for video games like Microsoft Flight Simulator.

The Elite 3 can even have a new pair button that may change between an area mode or cloud mode to attach on to Xbox Cloud Gaming servers. In cloud mode this could enhance the latency for cloud streaming video games, and it is one thing that can even be accessible on the smaller Xbox controller that leaked earlier today.

Microsoft additionally seems to be transferring to a detachable rechargeable battery within the Xbox Elite 3 controller, because the filings at Anatel point out this up to date controller has a smaller (1,528mAh) detachable battery in comparison with the Elite 2 (2,050mAh).

It’s not clear when Microsoft plans to launch these new Xbox controllers, however given they’re leaking at laws I would not be shocked to see them get introduced on the upcoming Xbox showcase in June.
