The news comes <a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/tecnoblog.net\/noticias\/este-e-o-novo-controle-da-microsoft-para-xbox-cloud-gaming\/\">from Brazilian website Tecnoblog<\/a>, which revealed Microsoft&#8217;s new premium gamepad just hours after showing off <a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitalfoundry.net\/news\/2026\/05\/photos-of-microsofts-xbox-cloud-gaming-controller-have-leaked-online-via-brazil\">another Xbox controller for cloud gaming<\/a>. Once again, the leak is via Brazilian telecommunications regulatory body Anatel.<\/p>\n<p>The presumptive Xbox Elite Series 3 comes with some interesting new controls and features, plus design elements that will be familiar to Series 2 owners such as swappable d-pads, lockable triggers, removable rear paddles, rubberised grips and a matte black colour scheme.<\/p>\n<p>Two new buttons on the front of the controller, below the d-pad and right stick, look like mouse-style scroll wheels, and could be used as additional inputs or as a way to make changes to the controller&#8217;s settings. They resemble the twin scroll wheels on Corsair&#8217;s Scuf Valor Pro, an Xbox controller released earlier this year, where they were used to adjust volume and game\/chat mix.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"gallery\">\n<div class=\"cols cols-2\">\n<div class=\"col col-1 col-width-50\"><a title=\"The left photo shows the scroll wheels, which could be used to adjust volume and game\/chat mix, while the right photo reveals the rear of the device, including a removable rechargeable battery, lockable triggers and removable rear paddles.

The battery is a lower capacity than the prior Elite controller, 1528mAh vs 2050mAh, but I expect improvements to wireless efficiency in the more modern chipset to more than make up for the smaller size when it comes to battery life.<\/p>\n<p>The Elite Series 3 controller also has a cloud button, allowing the controller to be connected directly to Wi-Fi to cut down latency when using Xbox Cloud Gaming. Pressing the buttons swaps between local and cloud modes.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"picture\" data-uuid=\"141543b14e69d\"><a class=\"scanlines\" title=\"Xbox Elite Series 3 controller leaks via Brazilian government body 4\" href=\"https:\/\/images.digitalfoundry.net\/141543b14e69d\/xbox-elite-series-3-controller-leaks-via-brazilian-government-body-4.large.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.digitalfoundry.net\/141543b14e69d\/xbox-elite-series-3-controller-leaks-via-brazilian-government-body-4.970x.jpg\" width=\"970\" height=\"515\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Xbox Elite Series 3 controller leaks via Brazilian government body 4\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"caption\">This image explains how the cloud\/local button works.

That would make the Series 3 a lot more durable over long periods, which was one of the biggest complaints with the Series 2 (though my example has survived the seven-year period intact!).<\/p>\n<p>As Tom Warren states in <a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/news\/930902\/microsoft-xbox-elite-3-controller-leak-images\">coverage of the leak at The Verge<\/a>, it seems logical to assume that the new controllers will be announced at the upcoming Xbox showcase on the 7th of June, though obviously nothing has been confirmed as of yet.<\/p>\n<p><!-- cache:
