Xbox’s Elite 3 controller has leaked ahead of its summer showcase event. Earlier today, Xbox’s Cloud Gaming controller leaked online, showing a compact version of a typical Xbox controller designed for those who want to stream their games to a TV, computer, or mobile device. It’s a cool bit of gear that will likely be sold at a cheaper price than a regular controller, making gaming more accessible and affordable to those without a console. However, Xbox is still catering to its hardcore, premium fans as well.
A new leak from Technoblog reveals the look of the brand new Xbox Elite 3 controller. The Xbox Elite 3 has a sleek, all-black appearance with a few bits of silver on the D-pad and analog sticks. The most notable change from the previous version are the two scroll wheels at the bottom of the controller, right next to the mic jack. Some have speculated that these scroll wheels may add extra inputs to your controller, possibly for games that benefit from mouse controls. However, they may be volume knobs. Maybe they’ll allow you to freely and easily balance game and chat audio, or something along those lines. If they were for gameplay, they’re in a bit of an awkward position that wouldn’t make them terribly convenient for frequent use.
