I find devices with touch screens ddon't always read my movements, though I am unsure if that is related to neuropathy.
I have this neuropathic pain/ tingle/numbness/ pricking in all my finger tips which makes using touchscreens hard - but not as hard as I find using a stylus. The problem with stylus’s in my experience is that you still have to hold then in your fingertips and the process of typing is slow. So it’s actually even harder and more sorethan putting up with the pricking.

Just my take on things though - a lot depends on our own personal preferences or tolerances. I did use a stylus for a year or so when the pain first started in my fingertips.
