Microsoft could be working on a new Xbox Elite Controller

New leaks show off next-gen Xbox Elite Controller

New leaks show off next-gen Xbox Elite Controller

Back in 2015, Microsoft announced a new controller for the Xbox One in the form of the Xbox Elite Controller. However, a lot of players have noted that it's worth the money, with a nice, meaty feel, not to mention a number of items that can be accessorized, like the awesome D-pad.

Multiple images first posted on Chinese social network Baidu show off an upgraded Xbox Elite Controller that features USB-C charging, Bluetooth support for Windows 10, three-level hair trigger locks (I'm particularly interested in this upgrade), longer paddle key travel, and a three profile switch.

Microsoft had claimed that the controller was selling like hotcakes, and now fast forward 3 years later it seems that Microsoft could have a new model in the works.

United Parcel Service (UPS) Rating Reiterated by Knight Equity
It increased, as 13 investors sold OSTK shares while 18 reduced holdings. 47 funds opened positions while 138 raised stakes. Chicago Equity Ptnrs Limited Liability Corporation stated it has 0.02% of its portfolio in United Parcel Service, Inc.

Accenture Plc (ACN) Shares Bought by Bank of Montreal Can
The information technology services provider reported $1.79 EPS for the quarter, beating the consensus estimate of $1.67 by $0.12. It is negative, as 43 investors sold OCLR shares while 60 reduced holdings. 132 funds opened positions while 462 raised stakes.

Analyst's Predictions on Hi-Crush Partners LP (HCLP), Duke Realty Corporation (DRE)
Currently, 0.80% of Hi-Crush Partners LP (NYSE:HCLP) are owned by insiders with 43.91% six-month change in the insider ownership. Keefe Bruyette & Woods maintained Hancock Holding Company (NASDAQ:HBHC) on Wednesday, October 18 with "Buy" rating.

In recent leaked images now confirmed by The Verge, it looks as though Xbox is set to pick up a refreshed Elite controller. It also appears to be chargable inside a carrying case, making it ideal for taking your controller to a friend's house and being ready for it to go in a game.

We can also see there appears to be an adjustable tension mechanism for the thumbsticks - something Microsoft recently filed a patent for through the USPTO, and drawings in the filing match the images posted to Baidu. It seems Microsoft has solved this issue with the still unannounced second version of the Elite controller.

There's no timeline for when Microsoft may choose to unveil the controller, though Sams speculates development of the product is coming along nicely, with an E3 2018 reveal not entirely out of the question. We'll keep you informed if we hear anything about what it has planned.
