Where are the visual indicators? Not on the leaked elite 3 pics. Maybe the logo has LCD?Its the pair button/switch thats already on Xbox Controllers right now, we just have visual indicator now.
Third party controllers like 8bitdo have cheap $29.99 controllers. But MS has to be the ones to do cheap controllers with Direct to Cloud functionality.
Its the pair button/switch thats already on Xbox Controllers right now, we just have visual indicator now.
So the Elite 3 will have an LCD indicator on the North side of the controller? We don't have a leaked pic of that side do we?Next to the pair button/switch as in the picture.
In case you dont know where the pair button/switch is:
Yea, that's what I meant, something that lights up, not expecting an entire LCD screen.
Yea, LCD TVs or LED TVs have kinda gotten me used to using those terms interchangeably. But yes, LED visual indicator can be done without any LCD screen.

That Direct to Cloud wouldn't be usable with Nvidia GFN datacenters anyways.

Although, I do kinda remember an MS patent that showed an entire LCD screen.
Similar to the Nacon controller.

Asus Raikiri Pro also has a 1.3" OLED screen used for visual indicators.
Asus announces new Xbox controller with a built-in OLED screen
You can put custom wallpapers and animations on the display
I had one of those.Sidewinder did it better
That's a solid indicator that it's legit OEM Xbox component.
Series controllers allow syncing between two devices simultaneously, the console and a Bluetoith device like PC or Mobile. And Xbox protocol allows up to 8 controllers to be connected. So you should simply keep a controller dedicated to Console, while another being synced across multiple devices.I figured thats what you meant/were thinking after I posted.
With this implementation as its just a two mode thing there isnt a need for a whole display, just a simple LED telling the user what mode they are in is enough.
Ironically I would actually love this cuz Ive got multiple controllers and some are in Bluetooth mode others are in Xbox Protocol and there is no way to know what mode you are in until you turn it on and it doesnt connect to device X.
I end up either resyncing or picking up another controller, being able to just look at the top of the controller and know what mode its in is something they should have had as soon as Bluetooth mode became a thing.
But Xbox controllers with LEDs arent even new, OG Xbox One controllers had LEDs hidden under the dark plastic they only took them outta the controller when the Kinect went bust.

Any regular controller can be used for Cloud Gaming. But what makes a Cloud controller special is Direct to Cloud over WiFi 2.4 ghz. The controller talks directly to the xcloud servers in Azure datacenters. So it bypasses any Bluetooth controller latency, bypasses any latency caused by the device as in OS Bluetooth stack, hardware decoding latency, the controller input signal goes directly to xcloud server blades, no middlemen processing of the controller inputs.
xCloud users. These controllers do something no others can.
The cheapness isn't the reason why they're Cloud controllers, it's Direct to Cloud. But cheapness is secondary concern for that market in developing countries.
That's infrared.I figured thats what you meant/were thinking after I posted.

Sebile is the controller I'm more excited for then anything else.All Xbox Controllers going forward will have the ability to be Direct to Cloud and Local.
These are basically Xbox Series Controller S, Sebile will be the new "Standard" Xbox Series Controller and the Elite 3 will be the err........Elite 3.
From the early leaks it was assumed the baby controller wouldnt have Cloud functionality.....this leak seems to put that to bed.
If you look at this baby controller it has the Cloud and Local indicators on the back:
This so called Cloud controller is just the entry level controller........cheaper and smaller, probably with limited or no haptics, no impulse triggers, no headphone jack.....etc......its literally a cheaper smaller controller they can package/sell with other devices or just tell people hey get this for cheap to start your Xbox journey.
We havent seen Sebile yet, but im guessing it leaks soon too.
This is the leaked Sebile slide:
You're doing it right! But for instances of mobile / iPad and in a pinch that cloud connectivity is supposed to improve the latency a lot more like stadias controllers did!
