Xbox Elite 3 Controller Leaked with New Interchangeable D-Pad and Paddles

Hours after a smaller Xbox Cloud Gaming controller surfaced online, Microsoft’s upcoming Xbox Elite 3 controller has been inadvertently revealed by Brazil’s Anatel regulator. Images posted by Tecnoblog showcase the refined design of the successor to the Elite 2 controller, featuring an interchangeable D-pad and paddles. The new design appears to include two scroll wheels at the bottom that may be related to controller adjustments or provide a new input for games like Microsoft Flight Simulator. Additionally, the Elite 3 controller is said to feature a new pair button that can switch between local mode or another function, although specifics remain unclear.
