Multiple outlets report that unannounced details about the Xbox Elite Series 3 controller have surfaced through the Xbox Design Lab customization backend. Leaked options reportedly include different thumbstick technologies, with at least one source indicating users may be able to choose Hall effect sticks or TMR (time-based) sticks when configuring the controller.
Other leaked features described across the reports point to upgrades beyond stick choice. These include advanced haptics, additional customization for the D-pad, and possible changes to physical controls such as a dedicated audio scroll wheel. The leaks also suggest customers would be able to select from more component or design options through Design Lab before any official announcement.
Because the information comes from backend configurations rather than a confirmed product briefing, specific specifications and availability are not independently verified. The reports collectively indicate that Xbox’s own controller customization system is showing configuration entries related to an “Elite Series 3,” but final details may differ from what is currently visible in the leak.
