Is there a new Xbox One elite controller coming out?
The FPO website includes a Nov. 13, 2018, patent PDF from Microsoft. The patent shows us a gamepad with a similar design to the Xbox One Elite. It is officially titled “Game controller with removable controller accessory,” and the patent abstract states: The patent provides a glimpse of a gamepad that is more customizable than the original Elite. The mounting platform enables players to configure the gamepad by replacing removable parts, such as its D-pad, trigger and button components. Thus, it is a controller with a modular design. There has been some speculation that Microsoft might release an Elite 2 since January 2018. Then leaked images on the Baidu website seemingly included a new Elite controller model with rechargeable batteries and a Type-C connector. Thereafter, many expected Microsoft to showcase a new Elite gamepad at E3 2018. However, Microsoft did not announce an Elite 2 at E3. The new gamepad patent will certainly renew speculation that Microsoft will unveil an Elite 2 in 2019. If Microsoft does release an Elite 2, it might be the most customizable controller ever for both Xbox and Windows games. You can check out the full Microsoft patent at this page.
