The invention discloses an electronic device and a processing method. The electronic device comprises a key; the key comprise an operation panel; the operation panel has at least two operation surfaces; and each operation surface of the at least two operation surfaces can receive input operation of a direction. According to the scheme, for the condition that the same key has the at least two operation surfaces and each operation surface can receive the input operation of one direction, the same key has the at least two operation surfaces to operate; and when the two operation surfaces correspond to different functions, the problem that the user operation is not facilitated due to the fact that two different switches need to be pressed at the same time for enabling or disabling two different functions in the prior art is solved.
