I'm a foot brake guy but have been using the supplied button. No complaints from me. Once you figure out how to change all the settings its a piece of cake. -Dustin 67 Dart, 9 second, 392" G3 Hemi 68 Barracuda 340 F/SA

Went with a "Pocket-pal". Comes with a remote button ( which I don't use ) and I believe you can buy a foot switch as an accessory. At first I didn't think the hand / eye / foot coordination thing was for real, but I just use the stage button on the panel ( below the screen ) and it has deffinetely made me more competitive. Fastest 300

When both cars light both bulbs, I hit the PAUSE button as soon as I see yellow.. After the screen pauses, I then look at the pre-stage lights to determine if I beat them or they beat me and then look at each cars reaction time.. FWIW.. I'm slower 24 outta 25 times.. lol 73 Duster 360 stroker http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2594657
