根據曝光的詳細資訊，Xbox Elite控制器（第三代）在搖桿模組方面將提供霍爾效應（Hall-effect）與TMR（隧道磁阻）兩種技術選項，並支持標準、松、緊三種張力變體。同時，該控制器還將提供低摩擦/靜音搖桿選項，標準與長款搖桿變體亦得以保留。
LEAKED | New photos of Xbox Elite 3 Controller • The new pair button appears to show text in a ticker/scroll style. • Different designed D-pad from the first leak photos • Confirmed scroll wheels at the bottom. • It doesn't seem to work wired or wireless through an Xbox and PC as OP said. It's probably locked down to a dev console or blacklisted. https://twitter.com/IdleSloth84_/status/2087280990909571393
在觸覺反饋方面，脈衝觸發器電機將沿用ERM（偏心轉子電機），而「高級觸覺反饋」系統則採用VCA（音圈致動器）電機，該方案接近PlayStation控制器的觸覺體驗。音頻控制部分新增了專用音頻滾輪，支持音量、聊天混合等快速調節。
