@fairestmoss Hi! I googled a bit and read a lot of post about people who also have trouble with the buttons. Most of them say they just removed the buttons. Also the rubber grip if it has it and it bothers them, to get a thinner grip. They say it’s pretty easy to do.
Don’t know which tablet you will go for in the end, but I found a random example of a Wacom pen on YouTube:

Once you made your decision you could look for YouTube clips for the specific brand you’ve chosen.
Don’t know if the buttons trouble you so much you want to do this, but wanted to give you the option 🙂
Hope you get well soon, and good luck in your tablet search!
