After first leaking last September, this week brought fresh rumours that a new Xbox controller could be revealed soon. Reportedly set to be announced around the time of Xbox's summer showcase this year (although unconfirmed at this stage), project "Sebile" sounds promising so far.

According to that initial leak, which originated from FTC files surrounding the ActiBlizz case, this new Xbox Series X|S controller will feature precision haptic feedback, VCA haptics that double as speakers, an accelerometer, new modular thumbsticks, a rechargeable and swappable battery, and the ability to "lift to wake" the device.

If accurate, Sebile would mark a massive change from Xbox's current controller lineup - with a laundry list of new features rumoured to be packed into this thing. So, if it's real, would you buy one?
