How to turn off vibration when typing on Xiaomi 10S

Modern flagship smartphones like the Xiaomi 10S feature advanced tactile motors that are designed to improve the user experience. However, for many owners, the constant vibration every time you press a virtual keyboard becomes intrusive and annoying, especially in quiet rooms or during long conversations, when the battery consumes charge not only on the screen, but also on mechanical recoil.

In MIUI (and its global version of HyperOS), tactile response settings are scattered across menus, which often causes confusion. The user can turn off the vibration in the keyboard itself, but forget about the system sounds or accessibility settings, which keeps the phone vibrating. In this article, we will discuss in detail all possible ways to eliminate this feature.

Our goal is to give you a comprehensive understanding of how to manage the haptic experience of your device.We will look not only at standard methods through the Gboard settings, but also system limitations that may overlap your preferences.This will allow you to customize the Xiaomi 10S exactly as you like, without unnecessary noise and shaking in your hands.

Set up a tactile response in Gboard

The most obvious and frequently used source of vibration is the keyboard itself. The Xiaomi 10S has Google's Gboard installed by default, which has its own independent settings. To get to them, you need to open any application that requires text input, such as Messages or Notes.

When you have a keyboard, look for the gear icon in the top toolbar. If it's not there, click on the three-dot icon or emoji to open the additional menu. In the settings window that opens, select Settings, then go to Preferences, and that's where the master switch is hidden.

Find a line called Tactical Response when dialing (or "Vibration when pressing keys"). Move the slider to an inactive position. Notice that there may be a clicks volume slider nearby, which is also worth minimizing if you want complete silence.

• 📱 Open any application to enter text.
• ⚙️ Click on the gear icon in the keyboard panel.
• 🔊 Go to the "Preferences" section".
• 🚫 Turn off the switchboard "Tactical response".

⚠️ Warning: If the keyboard still vibrates after disabling this setting, check if the phone has Do Not Disturb mode with special parameters or a power saving mode that sometimes ignores application settings for the sake of saving resources, although this is rare for the vibration function.

System Vibration settings in MIUI and HyperOS

Even if you turn off the vibration in the keyboard, the MIUI operating system can force the tactile response to the interface level, so that the user can feel the system response to any actions. On Xiaomi 10S, these settings are in the main menu of the device parameters.

Go to your smartphone Settings and select the Sounds and Vibrations section. In this menu, scroll down to the tactile sensation unit. Depending on the firmware version, this item may be simply called Vibration or placed in a separate sub-menu of Additional Settings.

Here you'll see the touch Vibration switch, which is responsible for the system's response to menu clicks, dialing and text input if the application doesn't have its own priority settings, and turning it off is guaranteed to remove the jitters when working with the interface.

It's worth noting that new versions of the HyperOS shell have a more flexible vibrational force setting, so you can not turn it off completely, but simply reduce the intensity to a minimum, leaving a subtle sensation that will not irritate, but confirm the touch.

Use of the "Do Not Disturb" mode

Sometimes the user does not need a permanent vibration shutdown, but a temporary one, for example, during a meeting, watching a movie or at night. For this purpose, Xiaomi 10S is the perfect mode Do not disturb. It allows you to flexibly adjust which tactile signals will be blocked.

You can activate this mode through the notification curtain (swipe from top to bottom) or through the settings menu. Unlike full silent mode, Do Not Disturb allows you to set exceptions. You can allow vibration for selected contacts, but completely disable it for keyboard and system events.

In the advanced Do Not Disturb settings, find Vibration, and you can select "Never" or "Alarm clock only" to ensure that even if the keyboard settings tick the vibration, the system will force the motor signal to be suppressed.

• 🌙 Open the control center or settings.
• 🔕 Select the "Do Not Disturb" mode".
• 🛠 Go to the settings of the mode (cogs).
• 🚫 Banning vibration for all events.

⚠️ Note: Do Not Disturb mode may block important calls and messages unless you set up an exception list.Make sure your family or work contacts are "Favorites" so you don't miss an urgent call.

Special facilities and accessibility

At the bottom of the Xiaomi 10S settings, there is the Accessibility section, which is designed for people with disabilities, but contains features that affect the behavior of the phone for all users. Some features, such as “Vibration on input” or “Vibration of system keys”, can duplicate basic settings.

Go to Settings → Additional → Special Features. Scroll down to Vibration and Tactile Return (or similar name depending on the MIUI version). There may be a global switch that forcibly turns on the motor for all input actions.

It's also worth checking the settings of TalkBack or other voice services, if activated accidentally, they can cause a strong vibration every time you touch the screen, and make sure that all the services on this menu that you don't use are turned off.

Disabling unnecessary features in this section will not only remove the vibration, but can also positively affect the autonomy of the Xiaomi 10S. Background accessibility services consume the CPU resources, even when not actively used.

The effect of third-party keyboards on tactile sensations

If you don’t use the standard Gboard, but you have installed an alternative, like SwiftKey, Yandex Keyboard or Chaozhuyin, then the system vibration settings may not work. Each keyboard application has its own engine and ignores the global Android settings in favor of its own.

To turn off vibration in a third-party keyboard, you usually need to press the comma key or find the settings icon in the prediction bar. In the SwiftKey menu, for example, you need to select Sounds and vibration and slider reduce the vibration length to zero. In Yandex.Keyboard, this is in the Settings → Sound and vibration section.

It is important to understand that some lightweight keyboards may not have fine-tuning of pulse length, offering only a binary option: on/off. If standard methods do not remove the vibration, try temporarily switching to the standard Xiaomi/Google keyboard for verification.

• 📥 Installed third-party keyboard takes priority.
• 🔍 Look for settings inside the keyboard app itself.
• ⚙️ Global settings MIUI may not apply to third party software.
• 🔄 Resetting keyboard settings can help if a bug occurs.

⚠️ Warning: When installing keyboards from unknown developers, be careful. They may request excessive permissions and collect input data. Use only verified applications from the official Google Play Store.

Problems with power consumption and battery

The vibromotor is a mechanical element that consumes a significant amount of energy. The Xiaomi 10S has a high-quality but energy-consuming linear motor. Constant vibration when typing can significantly reduce the device’s time from a single charge.

By turning off the vibration, you not only get rid of the annoying sound and sensations, but also prolong the life of the battery. In energy saving modes (Energy saving), the system automatically limits the operation of the vibrator motor, but you should not rely on this, since the functionality of the phone in this mode is reduced.

If you notice that the phone vibrates on its own or warms up in the camera area (where the motor is located), this may indicate a software failure or sticking of the process responsible for tactile return, in which case the device reboot will help.

Xiaomi 10S owners also need to keep an eye on firmware updates. The company’s engineers regularly release patches that optimize the performance of the vibrator drivers, which can eliminate spontaneous vibration without user intervention.
