When feeding the two options inside quotation marks into Googlefight (
http://www.googlefight.com)
you get the following:
http://www.googlefight.com/index.php?lang=en_GB&word1=%22at+the+press+of+a+button%22&word2=%22at+the+touch+of+a+button%22


49300 results for "press of a button"
658000 results for "touch of a button"

I think you could safely say that "touch" is more commonly used but "press"
is acceptable.
