"At a glance, and like Tecnoblog themselves say, the controller resembles 8BitDo's HyperX Clutch Tanto and SN30 Pro, or even an old-school SNES controller. It's compact and slim, presumably because it wants to look and feel more portable than a regular Xbox controller. It features all the regular buttons, too, although the rear triggers appear much shorter."
"According to Tecnoblog, inside is Bluetooth and Wi-Fi 6 , powered by Realtek's RTL8730E and two 1.2 GHz ARM Cortex-A7 cores. For a better look, visit Tecnoblog and view their images of the black and white controllers. The image below is an AI render based on the leaked controllers, so that you can get some reference for how it looks."
"The most likely idea is that the controller will be able to connect directly to Xbox Cloud Gaming servers to reduce latency, much like the Google Stadia controllers did. Basically, it lets the controller skip a step, so instead of sending the inputs to the console/phone/tablet and then bouncing them over to the Xbox Cloud Gaming servers, it just sends the inputs straight over via the Wi-Fi to the server."
"This wouldn't solve the problems of cloud-based gaming, but it certainly helps. The new controller could be intended to paired with the long-rumoured cloud gaming tier of Game Pass."
Images of new Xbox controllers show a compact, slim design resembling existing third-party and classic controller shapes. The controllers include standard front buttons, while rear triggers appear shorter. Internal components reportedly include Bluetooth and Wi‑Fi 6, powered by Realtek RTL8730E with two 1.2 GHz ARM Cortex‑A7 cores. The likely purpose is to connect directly to Xbox Cloud Gaming servers over Wi‑Fi, reducing latency by skipping an extra input relay step. This capability may align with a long-rumoured Game Pass cloud gaming tier. The controller would not remove cloud gaming limitations, but it could improve responsiveness.
