Now, as reported by recent images posted onBaiduandReddit, a second version of the Xbox Elite Controller is reportedly being developed by the company. According to the images,the “Xbox Elite Generation 2” will include a USB-C port for charging, Bluetooth support for Windows 10, three-level Hair Trigger Locks, longer key travel for the paddles, and a three-profile switch.

The new controller seems to be making use of adjustable lock same design for the thumbsticks. There are also three LEDs alongside the thumbsticks that could indicate battery life or extra profile support.

With the second-generation controller, there also seems to be anewly designed grip section, so hopefully, the controller will be able to stand the test of time.

While there has been no official word from the company, a source familiar with Microsoft’s Xbox plans has confirmed toThe Vergethat the image of the controller is genuine.There are also talks of a new case for the controller that would charge it on-the-go.However, there is no word as of yet when Microsoft plans to unveil this new controller.

For now, we feel Microsoft could potentially unveil the controller and its case at the upcoming Game Developers Conference in March or E3 in June. Considering the fact that the Hyperkin’s Xbox Duke Controller is expected torelease in March, Microsoft could very well announce the second gen Elite Controller alongside that.
