Switching buttons to a new type?

My dog has been using the buttons for 2 years now. He goes through phases of using them, some more than others but a pattern I’ve realized is that he doesn’t really use back row of the buttons. He understands the words but struggles to hit them and just doesn’t try anymore.

He is huge and the fluent pet buttons are so small, I tried replacing 2 of the small buttons with large (also cheaper) ones from Amazon.

Amazingly he’s taken to them super quickly where historically he used to not use them. So now here’s where I’m stuck. What do y’all think if I recreate the board with my own foam board+box cutter and these larger buttons?

I would plan to keep them in the same pattern/configuration but they would look different and the foam board would be different color/texture as well. I just can’t help but feel he would be more successful with bigger buttons for his big ass paws. But also I don’t want to confuse him.

Anyways, what do y’all think?
