In Roblox, the usual way to press buttons while using an item is to let the item action and the UI action use different inputs. For most games, that means keyboard/mouse or controller buttons for gameplay, while GUI buttons stay clickable on the screen.

What usually works

  • Use the item first, then click the button separately if the game allows both at once.
  • If the item opens a menu or inventory, close that menu before pressing another button.
  • On mobile, look for the context button or hand icon that appears near interactable objects.

If you mean a Roblox game you’re playing

  • Some games use the E key for nearby interaction, but others use left click, F, or R depending on the game’s controls.
  • If a GUI button is blocked by another interface, the game may need to disable the lower button, hide it, or prevent clicks when an overlay is open.
  • On keyboard-only setups, Roblox can still allow UI navigation with arrows and selected buttons in some cases.

If you mean Roblox Studio

  • A common fix is using a proximity prompt for item interaction instead of forcing a button click.
  • For GUI work, Roblox’s button click behavior is handled through GuiButton interactions in the UI system.

Practical tip

If you are trying to hold/use an item and still press a UI button, the cleanest design is usually:

  1. Put the item action on one input.
  2. Put the GUI button on another.
  3. Prevent the GUI from receiving clicks while an overlay is open.
