Do you want one of those three switches to be a three way? I have
never seen one. I would guess your best bet is to increase the size of the
box to allow one standard three way Decora. Then you would have one dead
switch, which are really great for aggravating someone who tires to figure
out what it controls.

I would think that's WAY too many conductors in a single gang box.

You could use a deep 1900 box with single gang reducing cover

thanks guys
I've talk to electrical contractor and he confirmed that despard
switches is the only option
so I went and bought me one 3way and one combo switch w/ single pole
and 3way on it (fits what I need it)
Well I had to rip out new tile to put new mud ring but that was the
price I had to pay to make the whole home look the same
