How to remove the vibration of the keyboard on Xiaomi Redmi Note 10: step-by-step instructions

Owners of the Redmi Note 10 series often experience intrusive tactile response when typing. This feature, designed to simulate the pressing of physical buttons, can be annoying in practice, especially when typing in a quiet environment or at lectures. Standard MIUI settings allow you to flexibly manage this setting, but the path to disconnect is not always obvious to beginners.

In this article, we will discuss in detail all ways to turn off vibration, from system settings to the configuration of the Gboard keyboard itself. You will learn how to reduce power consumption and improve the comfort of using the device by removing unnecessary tactile signals. This is applicable to all versions of the firmware, including MIUI 12, MIUI 13 and MIUI 14.

Why the keyboard vibrates on Xiaomi

The main reason for the constant buzzing is the tactile response settings. Xiaomi developers by default leave this feature active, since it gives the user confirmation of the successful character input. AMOLED-The Redmi Note 10 series displays are particularly bright due to the thin body and lack of a physical keyboard.

And you also have to consider that there are two different components that can be responsible for the device's jitter: the MIUI system engine and the keyboard application (usually Gboard). If you turn off the settings in one place but the sound is still there, then the second level of control remains active. Double settings check is the key to complete silence.

⚠️ Warning: A complete shutdown of system vibration can affect other functions, such as a lack of response when you press icons long or confirm actions in the menu.

Understanding the source of vibration allows you to pinpoint the device without losing important notifications. In the next sections, we will discuss specific steps to deactivate this feature through various menus.

πŸ“Š How annoying you are with the vibration of the keyboard?
Very hard, I'll turn it off.
I don't know, I'm used to it.
I only turn it off in the movies.
I prefer a sound click instead of a vibration.

Disabling vibration through MIUI system settings

The first and most effective way is to use embedded tools by the operating system, which globally reduces tactile response for all applications, including the standard keyboard. To begin, open the main menu and find the Settings icon.

In the settings that open, you have to go to the audio section, and depending on the version of MIUI, it can be called Sound and Vibration, or just Sounds, and there's a slider that controls the intensity of the motor.

Find the touch Vibration (or "Vibration when dialing"). Put the switch in an inactive state, which will instantly stop the screen shaking when printing in standard applications of the system.

  • πŸ“± Open Settings on the main screen.
  • πŸ”Š Go to the section Sound and vibration.
  • πŸ”‡ Find the Vibration option when touching and turn it off.
  • βœ… Check the result in any text field.

It is important to note that on some firmware versions, this setting may be hidden inside the Advanced Settings subsection. If you didn't find the slider right away, search the settings by entering the word "vibra."

Setting up the Gboard keyboard on the Redmi Note 10

Even if the system vibration is turned off, the Gboard app (Google's standard keyboard) has its own priority settings, and it can ignore the general system settings if the app has a high tactile response level.

To get into the keyboard settings, open any application that requires text input (such as Messages or Notes). When the input panel appears, click on the gear icon at the top of the keyboard. If there is no icon, press the space or click the emoji icon, then select the settings.

In the Gboard menu, select Settings. Here you are interested in Preferences. Scroll down to the Enter Text box. This is where the Vibration keys switch is hidden.

When you change the settings, close the settings and try typing the test message. If the keyboard stops vibrating but the audio signal is gone, make sure you don't confuse the two functions in the menu.

What to do if Gboard resets settings?
Sometimes, after updating the system or the Gboard application itself, the settings may return to factory settings, in which case you need to recheck the Preferences section. It is also recommended to clear the keyboard cache through the Apps menu -> All Apps -> Gboard -> Memory -> Clear the cache.

Vibration management in third-party keyboards

Redmi Note 10 users often install alternative keyboards, such as SwiftKey, Yandex Keyboard or TouchPal. The principle of turning off vibration is similar, but the paths to settings are different. The logic of the interface is maintained, only the names of the items change.

For Microsoft SwiftKey, you need to open the app from the program menu, go to the Input section and find the Sounds and Vibrations section, and you can not only turn off the function, but also adjust the duration of the vibration if you do not want to completely abandon it.

In the keyboard from Yandex, the path looks different: click on the application icon, select Settings -> Appearance or Sound and vibration. The interface is Russified, so there are usually no problems finding the right tumbler.

  • 🎹 Open the keyboard application from the list of programs.
  • βš™οΈ Find a section related to sound or tactile response.
  • πŸ“‰ Set the vibration slider to a minimum position or turn off.
  • πŸ’Ύ Save the changes (if you need the "Apply" buttonΒ»).

If you use gaming keyboards with macros, check your profiles too. In some cases, the vibration may be assigned to a specific layout profile rather than being a global setting.

πŸ’‘

Use Do Not Disturb mode to temporarily shut down vibrations without changing system settings. This is convenient in a movie theater or in a meeting.

Use of Do Not Disturb Mode and Profiles

There is a scenario where the vibration needs to be removed temporarily, not forever, and for this purpose MIUI and Android have a Do Not Disturb mode, activating this mode blocks all tactile and audible notifications, including keyboard response.

You can turn it on through the notification curtain (swipe from top to bottom), find an icon with a month or a crossed out circle, and you can set up automatic turn on on on a schedule, for example, from 23:00 to 07:00.

In the Do Not Disturb mode settings, you can detail exceptions. Go to Settings -> Sound and Vibration -> Do Not Disturb. You can only allow vibration for selected contacts or alarm clocks, leaving the keyboard "mute."

⚠️ Note: Do Not Disturb mode may not receive important notifications from messengers. Make sure you add important contacts to the exclusion list.

This method is ideal for situations where a standard keyboard vibration switch is impossible or uncomfortable, and works like a crutch, but is very effective in specific situations.

Do Not Disturb is the best temporary solution for completely turning off all sounds and vibrations without a deep dime in the settings menu.

Reset keyboard settings and eliminate errors

There are times when the sliders are turned off, but the Redmi Note 10 continues to vibrate, which may indicate a software failure or version conflict, in which case resetting the input settings to factory settings helps.

To perform the reset, go to Settings -> Additional -> Language and input. Select the active keyboard and find the Reset or Restore button, which will return all settings to the out-of-the-box state.

Once reset, re-run the vibration-off procedure described in the previous sections. Often, updating the keyboard app through Google Play also solves the problem of β€œstuck” settings.

  • πŸ”„ Update the keyboard app in the Play Market store.
  • πŸ—‘οΈ Clear the application data through the Applications menuΒ».
  • βš™οΈ Reset the input settings in the "Language and input" sectionΒ».
  • πŸ”Œ Reboot your smartphone to apply changes.

If nothing helps, the problem may be the hardware of the vibrator, which can flash at low frequencies, but the software methods for solving the keyboard vibration are exhaustive.

Does energy saving affect vibration?
The MIUI's power saving mode can limit the vibrator to keep the battery powered, and if Ultra Mode is on, the system can force the keyboard's tactile response to be turned off.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Why does the keyboard vibrate even when the settings are β€œoff”?
This may be due to a conflict between the MIUI system settings and the Gboard app's internal settings. Check both locations. Also make sure that the special features' enhanced tactile mode is not enabled.
Does the vibration shutdown affect battery life?
Yes, the vibrator motor is one of the most energy-intensive components of a smartphone. Turning off constant vibration when printing can slightly extend the battery life of the Redmi Note 10, especially when typing is active.
Can you make the vibration quieter but not turn it off completely?
In standard MIUI settings, keyboard vibration is often not adjusted (on/off only). However, some versions of the Gboard or third-party keyboards have an intensity slider.
Are vibration settings reset after system updates?
For major Android updates (such as version 12 to version 13), the input settings can be reset to factory ones. After a major update, it is recommended to check the Sound and Vibration section again.
