I'd like a rotary encoder because I'd be dealing with a pretty large range of numbers (especially when selecting time). It would be a lot faster to spin a rotary encoder from zero to 60 than it would be to push a button 60 times, right?
0 to 60 is eight key presses for my system
one key press to move cursor to the tens position; the ones position remains at 0
0 to 1 to 2 to 3 to 4 to 5 to 6 to increase the tens digit to 6 = six key presses
ENTER key is one key press
