Embodiments of this application provide a method and apparatus for controlling a linear motor, a device, and a readable storage medium. The method for controlling a linear motor includes: determining, in response to an operation instruction, a vibration description file of an operation object of the operation instruction; and outputting a vibration sense that meets a waveform requirement of the vibration description file, where the vibration sense is provided by a linear motor in a first vibration state, and the first vibration state matches an attribute of the linear motor.
