Xbox Elite 3/Leak

Just hours after images of Microsoft’s alleged upcoming cloud gaming control leaked online, it appears as though we are also getting an early look at the next-generation Xbox Elite 3 Controller.

A regulatory body in Brazil known as Anatel seems to have accidentally published images of an upcoming Microsoft Cloud Gaming controller, and now it looks as though it has done so for what’s purportedly the next Elite 3 gamepad.

As spotted by Tecnoblog (via The Verge), the new controller (seen above) features a familiar form-factor with what look to be two new buttons joined by some paddles and an an interchangeable D-Pad.

On the underside, just below the D-Pad and thumbstick, there are a pair of scroll wheel controls – it is unclear at this time what they might be for, but one could imagine something similar to what is found on some of the more premium gaming and productivity mice out there, or perhaps just a “new” sort of pitch/yoke input/control method entirely.
