The Cloud Gaming controller has a narrow shape that mimics some third-party options like 8BitDo. It comes in black and white colors and has the standard set of controls, which include two joysticks, a D-pad, XYAB buttons, bumpers, and triggers. We can also see a pairing button in the middle, as well as view and menu toggles.

As its name suggests, this controller is for Microsoft’s Xbox cloud gaming service, and the certification reveals that it will feature Wi-Fi 6 connectivity with support for 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, which will allow it to connect directly to Xbox cloud gaming servers for low latency. Additionally, it will have Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity as well as a 500mAh rechargeable battery, which you will be able to top up via the controller’s USB-C port.

The attached list of Elite Series 3 controllers also supports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. It features the famous Xbox-style controller layout, while also including a new set of scroll wheel buttons next to the 3.5mm headphone jack.
