Overview
- Images published Thursday by Brazil’s Anatel and obtained by Tecnoblog revealed two unannounced Xbox controllers, including a compact cloud-focused pad and a new Elite Series 3.
- The compact cloud pad features Wi‑Fi 6 plus Bluetooth 5.3 using a Realtek RTL8730E chip and a 500 mAh rechargeable battery with USB‑C charging.
- A dedicated cloud mode links the controller straight to Xbox Cloud Gaming servers to cut the Bluetooth hop and reduce input lag, echoing Google Stadia’s approach.
- The leaked Elite Series 3 shows paddles, an interchangeable D‑pad, two new scroll wheels, extra buttons, a local‑to‑cloud toggle, and a 1,528 mAh removable battery.
- Microsoft has not announced either device, no U.S. FCC filings are public, and outlets say pricing and timing remain unknown as attention turns to June’s Xbox showcase.
