How to turn off the keyboard vibration on Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro

Modern smartphones, including the popular Poco X3 Pro, feature advanced tactile feedback systems that are designed to improve the user experience. However, many owners face a situation where the intrusive vibration when typing messages or searching the Internet becomes annoying, not helping, especially in quiet rooms, where every tactile response is clearly heard by others.

In the MIUI operating system, which runs the POCO UI shell, the tactile settings are spread across different menu sections, often causing confusion among users trying to find a single magic button to turn off the sound and vibration of the keyboard. In fact, the process of managing these parameters requires sequentially switching several toggles in the system settings and directly in the text input application.

In this guide, we will discuss in detail all possible ways to eliminate the vibration of the keyboard on your device. We will look at both standard methods through the Gboard interface, and hidden system settings that can be useful if the standard methods did not give the desired result.

The main causes of vibration when entering text

Before you start setting up, it’s important to understand that different layers of the shell can be responsible for vibration. In Xiaomi and Poco smartphones, there is a separation between the system vibration of the interface and the vibration of a particular input application. Often users turn off one parameter, forgetting the second one, and are left with a problem.

The main culprit is usually Google's Gboard app, which is the default app on most of the brand's devices, and it controls the tactile response of each letter you click, but at the Android system level, a common "Touch Sound and Vibration" parameter can also be activated that duplicates the action of the keyboard.

Another reason could be a software version conflict after a MIUI update.Sometimes new security patches or security updates reset user preferences to factory values, where vibration is on by default to demonstrate the capabilities of the Linear Motor engine.

⚠️ Note: Some versions of firmware may have slightly different names for settings. If you don't find a precise match for a menu item, look for synonyms like "Tactile response" instead of "Vibration when touched».

Turning off vibrations via Gboard settings

The most direct and effective way to remove tactile response is to use the internal settings of the keyboard itself, which does not affect other system sounds, so it is the preferred method for most users who want silence only when printing.

To start, you need to call the keyboard itself in any type of text input field, such as in messages or a browser. On the toolbar above the letters, find the gear icon or press and hold the comma to open the Quick Settings menu. If there are no icons, click on the four-square icon or arrow to expand the full menu.

In the menu that opens, select Settings, and then you're interested in Settings (or Preferences), which is where the keyboard behavior is located, and that's where the switch that controls the physical output of the device when you press virtual keys is hidden.

Find the Vibration string when you press the keys and put the slider in an inactive position. Note that there may be a keyboard speaker nearby, which should also be turned down or off if you are concerned about acoustic noise.

It's worth noting that in some versions of the Gboard, the vibration intensity is not just controlled by on/off, but by a duration slider. If you see a duration slider, just move it to the extreme left position to a value of "0 ms."

System settings of sound and tactile signals MIUI

If the settings inside the keyboard did not help or the slider is not there, you need to check the global settings of the Android operating system. In the POCO UI shell, these parameters are put into a separate menu that manages all the device’s tactile signals, including navigation and system notifications.

Go to the main smartphone settings menu and select Sound and Vibration, where you need to scroll down to the "Additional" block or find the "Vibration" item when touching, which is responsible for the overall tactile response of the interface.

Disabling this setting can make the interface less “live”, as it will lose vibration not only of the keyboard, but also, for example, when you press the application icon for a long time or when you switch toggles in the notification curtain, but this is guaranteed to remove any vibrations when typing.

Poco X3 Pro owners should also pay attention to engine modes. Some design themes or third-party launchers may have their own vibration settings that override the system. Check the active theme in the Themes app.

Use of Do Not Disturb Mode for Silence

There is a scenario where the user is required to temporarily eliminate all sound and tactile signals, for example, during a meeting, in a movie theater or at night.

Activate Do Not Disturb mode via the quick access panel (curtain) by swiping from top to bottom. The icon usually looks like a crossed circle or crescent. In this mode, the keyboard stops vibrating regardless of the settings in the menu.

But it has its own peculiarities: you may not hear an important call or message unless you set up exceptions, and it allows you to create a list of favorite contacts that will make calls even in silence, but the keyboard vibration will still be turned off.

You can also set it to automatically turn on on on a schedule. Go to Settings → Sound and vibration → Do not disturb → Turn on a schedule. This will save you from having to manually switch modes every evening.

⚠️ Note: In Do Not Disturb mode, the alarm usually continues to work with the sound, but the vibration of the alarm clock may be turned off depending on the version. MIUI. Check the alarm settings separately.

Solving problems with third-party keyboards

Not everyone is happy with Google's standard keyboard, and many people install alternatives like Yandex Keyboard, SwiftKey, or Grammarly, and they have similar disabling vibrations, but different paths to settings may be used.

In most third-party apps, settings are made to a separate menu, accessible through the app icon in the status bar or through a long comma tap.Look for sections called Preferences, Type Input, or Sounds and Vibrations.

If you use the SwiftKey keyboard, you need to go to Settings → Sound and Vibration. There you will find the slider "Vibration when you press keys." In the keyboard from Yandex, the path looks like this: Settings → Vibration.

Once the new keyboard is activated, the old Gboard settings will no longer work as input management will move to the new application.

💡

If you change keyboards frequently, create a shortcut on your desktop to quickly access your input settings, which can be done through system or application widgets like Shortcut Maker.

Additional methods and resetting settings

In the rare cases where a software failure causes the keyboard to continue vibrating despite all the settings, resetting the keyboard to factory settings can help. This won't remove your vocabulary, but will return all the switches to their original state.

To do this, go to Settings → Advanced Settings → Language and input. Select an active keyboard and find the Reset or Clear Data button (be careful, clearing the data can delete the learned words).

Also check whether the performance mode or Game Turbo game mode is enabled.In some scenarios, these modes may force a tactile response to improve the gaming experience, and this may conflict with the usual mode of use.

If nothing helps, try updating the keyboard app through the Google Play store.Developers regularly release patches that fix vibration engine behavior bugs on specific smartphone models, including the Poco X3 Pro.

💡

Complete absence of vibration is achieved only by complex setting: first in the keyboard application, then in the system sound settings, and, if necessary, through the smartphone modes.
