I tried using rubber bands to add grip to my Xbox controller and it actually worked

So last week I was at my desk and my hands kept slipping off the controller while playing some frantic game. I grabbed a couple of thick rubber bands from the junk drawer and wrapped them around the handles, right where my palms sit. After 4 hours of straight gaming they never slipped off and my hands felt way more locked in. Has anyone else tinkered with cheap grip hacks before buying new shells?

Hair ties? For real? I mean, maybe it's fine for keeping cables from turning into a tangled mess in your bag, but I dunno if that's some kind of life-changing hack or whatever. I just chuck my cords in a drawer and hope for the best (which never works, but still). Seems like overthinking it for something you just plug in and forget about. But hey, if it makes you feel organized, go for it I guess.
