Me too I find this problematic. I guess a work around would be to assign the top tab button as touch and use the joystick while resting your index finger against it.
Hard to press trigger at the same time though.
It does feel easier/faster with emulation. I think it’s because the Navi is not as ergonomic as the move: hard to find the buttons with HMD on. The buttons aren’t positioned close enough to finger tips.
