Images of the Xbox Elite Series 3 controller have leaked via Tecnoblog and reported by The Verge. The pro-grade controller features a redesigned d-pad and two scroll wheel buttons. According to The Verge, the scroll wheels are likely intended for Microsoft Flight Simulator.
Leaked images show new inputs
The controller includes a removable rechargeable battery with a capacity of 1,528 mAh. It also has a switch for cloud gaming connectivity, which can toggle between local and remote modes. However, the controller may lack TMR or Hall effect technology to combat stick drift, according to Tecnoblog.
The Elite Series 3 controller is a rumored successor to the Elite Series 2. The leaked images show a familiar shape but with new inputs. The scroll wheels could reduce clutter in living rooms by replacing multiple peripherals for PC-oriented titles.
Microsoft has not confirmed the controller's existence or its features. The images may not show all revisions, so some details remain unclear. The Verge and Tecnoblog are the sources of the leak.
