Anyone here experiencing hand discomfort with the Series X/S controllers?

I've been using mine since launch and have no problems for short gaming sessions but when I get into the 2-5 hour ranges I start to hurt. I have not experienced this with other controllers, I'm thinking about using Xbox One controllers on the series X, but I like the snappy response of the series x controller. I thought it was something I would adjust to but that is not happening. I'm mostly relaxed through most of my gaming sessions but with Battlefield and Halo on the way I usually tend to be hyper-focused with those and would imagine my pain to kick in earlier with those.

I know the Xbox One controllers were going to receive a firmware update, but I don't know if it would put them on a par performance wise as the Series controllers.

Might need to start liftin pimp, jk.

Is it the feel of the grips? I thought Shika said something about that back in November when it came out. So far I don't have issues with long sessions with either controller, ps5 or Series.

I might try some grip covers to thicken the controller a bit.

I found this one. Will see if it helps, I don't want to switch to the One controller, I've already purchased 4 Series controllers and I'm only on my second one.

Just now ordered it, will wait for it to come in and try it out in about a week.

My new calluses let me go a long time. Being coordinated enough now to sing with what I play is very motivating.

Some more impressions from various games:

Psychonauts 2:
Already played it for 10 hours. Fantastic game. Really impressed that this game is made by Double Fine considering they have mostly done smaller indie-type game for the longest time. They are definitely worthy of a decent budget at Microsoft.

Superliminal:
Game is excellent thus far. Reminds me of the good old Portal times. But on a technical level the console version is extremely disappointing. It came out (on consoles) in 2020 and yet the game runs at 30 FPS with a sub 1080p resolution. There's also not much going on. Small rooms, no NPCs, no effects. Even the base Xbox One should be able to get a better result.

Judgment:
I quickly gave up on beating it over the weekend. Feels like a great game though. Combat seems already better than any (non JRPG) Yakuza game. Hopefully we don't have to wait for it to come to Game Pass much longer.
