In Spain, we say "apretar el button" to say "to press a button" . You can say "presionar" but that is not really common. Definitely we don't use "oprimir" for that.
The keyboard keys are "teclas"; so to "press a key" we say "pulsar una tecla".

For a button we usually say "apretar"; for a key we usually say "pulsar". I wouldn't say "oprimir" for any of them.

Hope this is helpful
