Xbox recently released a high-end controller, the Elite Series 2, for its current generation consoles. The controller features a number of customization options designed to improve the gameplay experience.
The Xbox Elite Series 2 controller was launched last September and improved on the standard gamepad that comes with the Series X/S consoles. The controller adds interchangeable thumbsticks, a swappable D-Pad, and programmable side triggers that could be customized to a player's liking.
However, one company sees an opportunity to take it a step higher.
Turtle Beach has filed a new patent for a new Xbox controller that adds a built-in touch screen that adds a ton of functionality. Gamers can use the new controller to track and display their performance in competitive titles. The new controller design also allows players to save custom controller loadouts and audio options.
The new controller from Turtle Beach also has connectivity functionality. Players can access social media through the controller. Players can also see battery percentages, user names, and other useful information.
