The invention discloses a method for controlling a touch terminal and the touch terminal. The method is a new method for controlling the touch terminal and is applied to the touch terminal including touch keys, and the touch terminal is controlled through pressure signals inducted by pressure induction layers in the touch keys. Due to the fact that a physical key does not need to be installed on one side of the touch terminal, the attractiveness and three-proofing performance of the touch terminal are enhanced while the touch terminal is controlled.
