A button module with vibration feedback and fingerprint sensing, a fingerprint sensing module for the same, and a control method for the same are provided. The fingerprint sensing module has a fingerprint sensing unit stacked on a vibration unit. When the fingerprint sensing module detects a fingerprint, the control unit or a host of an electronic device determines whether the fingerprint is authenticated. If it is not authenticated, the vibration unit is activated, so that the user realizes that the authentication is not passed in real time through the vibration. Then the user may quickly change another finger or move the finger's position to speed up the authentication process. This can prevent users from waiting to improve user experience.
