Purported Xbox Elite Series 3 Controller Prototype Somehow Ends Up in a Customer's Hands
The Xbox Elite Series 3 Wireless Controller hasn't even been officially announced yet, but a purported prototype has seemingly found its way into the hands of someone who thought they were buying an Elite Series 2 controller on the retail website OfferUp.
An unannounced Xbox Elite Series 3 Wireless Controller prototype reportedly found its way into the hands of an unsuspecting customer on a retail website. Reddit user ssuberlex posted to the r/Controller subreddit, asking if anyone had managed to obtain an Xbox Elite Series 3 controller before its official announcement. Many members of the subreddit confidently pointed out that the original poster had likely acquired a prototype of the Elite Series 3 controller.
The new owner of the controller confirmed that it did not pair with an Xbox or a cable, only blinking a red light and displaying no functionality, wired or wireless. This sighting comes after an alleged leak in May, which stated that the Elite Series 3 controller would feature Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth, a 3.5mm jack, interchangeable D-pad, paddles, two scroll wheels, trigger locks, and a new pair button to switch between local and cloud mode to reduce latency. The controller is expected to be officially revealed, though the timing is yet to be determined.
