You could even use one that incorporates a momentary push switch as your 'enter' button - then you've got everything in one controller, and if you intend to house your circuit in a box then you'll only need to drill a single hole to mount it, rather than have to make 3 separate cut-outs for the push buttons. Kind regards, Tim.
