Unreleased Xbox Elite Series 3 Controller Surfaces in New Community Leaks
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
New community leaks give players a detailed look at the rumored Xbox Elite Series 3 controller, showcasing built-in LED displays, scroll wheels, and prototype markings.
Hardware enthusiasts caught a major glimpse of what appears to be the unreleased Xbox Elite Series 3 controller this week, thanks to a fresh round of hands-on photos shared by a Reddit user. Reporting by GameRant notes that the newly leaked images closely match features previously uncovered through regulatory filings, including a small LED display near the USB-C port and novel scroll-wheel inputs positioned on the bottom of the gamepad. According to the original poster, who claimed to have purchased the hardware in Seattle for two hundred dollars, the device currently fails to pair with standard consoles or PCs, strongly suggesting it is a locked developer prototype.
Beyond the hardware layout, the leak highlights a noticeably more tactile, clicky button feel reminiscent of standard current gen controllers alongside a removable battery labeled as prototype hardware with a 1,528 mAh capacity. While Microsoft skipped showing off any new pro hardware during the summer showcase events, these repeated leaks point toward a late stage production cycle. For competitive console and PC players who rely on high performance peripherals, an official Elite Series 3 would mark the first major iteration of Microsoft premium gamepad line since the release of the Series 2 back in 2019.
