Remotes

[daria2]

I have large hands, and I'm always hitting the Roku remote side button volume controls accidentally. I have a Roku TV, and found replacement remotes that work well (front volume controls!), but I guess they don't work with a stick, and I want to replace my Amazon fire sticks with Roku - The Fire sticks are too full of ads (even though I have Prime) and in general are very slow, despite having the latest versions and high-end internet access.

It sounds like you haven’t bought them yet, so consider Express 4K or Ultra models instead of sticks.  Only the sticks lack IR receivers.  With IR there is a wide selection of third-party remotes that you can get.
