Enter (key)

Explanation:
Normally 'click "enter"' or just "Enter" will do but maybe you can also say
" To set, click 'enter' " .
I don't think you need to worry too much about 'decision'...

Thankyou.

2 hrs confidence:

Key, Enter

Explanation:
Since the source text is not given, there can be 2 translations for this term depending on the purpose it is going to serve.

(1) You may simply translate it as "KEY", as 決定 is used in games and few electronic devices for "Go" or "Enter" command. So here it probably means the KEY or Component on which the Enter/Go command has to be given.
(2) Or if it is referring to only 決定, then it has to be simply translated as "Go" or "Enter"

7 hrs confidence:

Confirm key

Explanation:
Most likely, it's a designated key the user must press when choosing menu options and giving confirmation when messages such as "Press A to continue" come up on-screen.

In most manuals I've worked with, this general function is called "confirming", so I would recommend "Confirm key" for this.

This explanation is based on the assumption that this is a key that can be set within the game software and not the name for an actual hardware key.
