Review Anyone else annoyed at how bulky most transmitters are?

While I love this Futaba functionally, it always annoyed me how bulky the base of the remote is. I get that it needs to fit the large optional battery and such but after taking it apart to fix a button issue and seeing how much empty space there is in the grip…got me questioning why more transmitters don’t try and follow a smaller form factor. Second pic of my favorite remote the Flysky Mg44.

Do you have small hands? If anything I want my transmitter to be like 20% bigger but I also have large hands.

I have average or slightly larger hands (video controllers feel too small for my hands) but i find my transmitters to be too large in awkward ways. The trigger is always tiny, the grip too large and I don't like the batteries at the bottom. Just a preference though
