My question is (probably is too simple):

'drücken Sie (die Taste) 'Enter'' or 'drücken Sie die Eingabetaste'.

Thank you for your input.

Explanation:
So würde ich es übersetzen. Eingabetaste klingt doch sehr veraltet und "Enter" ist sicher als Bestätigung gemeint.

Explanation:
Ich habe 5 deutsche Tastaturen verschiedenen Alters rumliegen. (Bin eben schlampig) Alle haben tatsächlich eine Taste mit der Beschriftung "Enter", und zwar im numerischen Teil der Tastatur.

Die Return-Taste in Buchstabenfeld ist mit einem Pfeil (abwärts-links) gekennzeichnet.

In einer Welt, wo manche Leute ganz ernsthaft beim Support nachfragen, wo denn die Any-Taste oder die Space-Taste zu finden seien, bin ich sehr für "Eingabetaste" (und wenn es grafisch geht, auch noch den Knickpfeil dazu)
