"Photos of an unreleased Microsoft Xbox Cloud Gaming controller have leaked online, thanks to a Brazilian website called Tecnoblog. The diminutive controllers look like something 8BitDo would release, though the D-Pad and home button feature the familiar Xbox aesthetic."
"Despite the size, this could be a great controller for cloud gaming. That's because it reportedly uses Wi-Fi instead of Bluetooth to connect directly to Microsoft's service, which should reduce latency. It can also connect via Bluetooth when needed."
"It even uses an actual rechargeable battery. Any Xbox player knows the company has had a major and inexplicable preference for AA batteries for decades now. The controller is powered by a dual-core ARM Cortex A7 in a Realtek chipset, according to analysis by Digital Foundry."
"The controller remains unannounced, so we don't have pricing or availability information. However, this leak could force Microsoft to put out something official in the near future."
Photos of an unreleased Xbox Cloud Gaming controller have appeared online, showing a small rectangular design with short grips, staggered thumb sticks, and standard Xbox buttons including a D-pad and home button. The controller is reported to be manufactured by Microsoft and is shown in black and white, suggesting multiple color options. It is designed for cloud gaming by connecting to Microsoft’s service over Wi‑Fi rather than Bluetooth, which should help reduce latency, while still supporting Bluetooth when needed. It includes a rechargeable battery and uses a dual-core ARM Cortex A7 in a Realtek chipset. No official pricing or availability has been announced yet.
