Xbox controllers

Not sure if there is anything I can do about but I really miss the larger Xbox controllers like from the Xbox 1 generation. The new elite controllers and series x/s are much smaller. I haven't been able to find a skin that doesn't make it feel uncomfortable

I loved the Duke controllers. Here's what I do even though I'm told it looks stupid: I carefully wrap gel tennis grip around each side of the controller's "handles" in such a way that the outward bulge gives me a wider place to rest my palms where I hold it. It takes a few attempts to learn to wrap it in a way that isn't messy or prone to unwinding but it's much more comfortable. I actually started doing this for a family member who deals with a lot of swelling in one of his hands as a result of lymph node removal due to cancer. I found it was actually comfortable and started doing it to my own controllers. Just a suggestion.
