How to Remove Vibration on Xiaomi 10 Keyboard: The Complete Guide

Modern smartphones like the Xiaomi Mi 10 are equipped with advanced tactile engines that are designed to improve the user experience. However, for many owners, constant vibration when printing becomes a source of irritation, especially in quiet rooms or during long correspondence.

In MIUI, tactile response settings can be spread across menus, which often causes confusion among beginners. Some parameters are responsible for system vibration in general, while others regulate only the behavior of the virtual keyboard. Understanding this difference is key to quickly and efficiently adjusting your gadget to your own comfort preferences.

In this article, we will take a closer look at all the available ways to disable vibration on Xiaomi 10. We will look at both the standard Gboard settings and the system settings of the MIUI shell so that you can choose the most suitable option. Follow the instructions to make the typing process as quiet and enjoyable as possible.

Setting up the standard Gboard keyboard

Most Xiaomi devices, including the Mi 10, have a Google Gboard keyboard installed by default, which is the most common scenario, and that's where the solution is 90% of the time, and the tactile impact settings are put in a separate menu that's available directly from the keyboard interface.

To start, call the keyboard in any app, such as in messages or notes. Click on the gear icon, which is usually located in the top panel, or go to the phone's general settings, find the "Additional Settings" section, and select "Language and Input." From the list of active keyboards, select Gboard to open the configuration menu.

In the menu that opens, you need to find Settings or go straight to Preferences, and that's where the tactile and audio switches are located. The interface may vary slightly depending on the version of the MIUI firmware and the version of the keyboard itself, but the logic remains the same.

  • πŸ” Find the β€œPreferences” section in the main keyboard settings menu.
  • πŸ“‰ Turn off the Tactical Press Response slider to remove vibration.
  • πŸ”‡ Remove the tick from the "Click Sound" item if you want complete silence.
  • βš™οΈ Check the β€œMore” section for hidden multi-touch vibration settings.

⚠️ Warning: Once you turn off the tactile response, you will no longer feel the confirmation of the input with your finger. If you are used to the physical sensation of typing, this can temporarily slow down the typing speed.

System settings of sound and vibration MIUI

Sometimes the settings of the keyboard itself are ineffective if the system activates the global mode of enhancing tactile sensations. The MIUI shell on Xiaomi 10 has its own vibration motor control algorithms that can overlap the settings of individual applications, this is done to ensure uniformity of the interface, but requires special attention.

To get full control, go to the main smartphone settings menu. Find the Sound and Vibration section. Here you are interested in the "Additional settings" or "Vibration when touched" section. In newer firmware versions, this option may be called "System vibration."

Disabling this setting can affect not only the keyboard, but also the vibration when navigating menus, opening apps and other system actions. It is a comprehensive solution that makes the interface completely silent in tactile terms. For those who value silence over tactile feedback, this is ideal.

β˜‘οΈ Checking system settings

Done: 0 / 4

It's worth noting that the Xiaomi Mi 10 uses a high-quality linear vibrator that works softer than conventional eccentric motors. However, even its work can be intrusive. If you turned off all the settings, but the vibration remains, perhaps the problem lies in a third-party launcher or theme design, which forcibly includes tactile response.

Vibration control through the control panel

You don't have to go into the deep settings menus every time you set up quickly. MIUI provides easy access to basic functions through the notification curtain and control panel, especially when you need to quickly turn on or off the vibration before entering a movie theater or meeting.

Swipe down from top to bottom to open the control center. Depending on the version of MIUI (Chinese or global), the interface can look different. In the classic Android style, swipe is done twice, in the iOS style - once. Find the icon responsible for the sound or vibration modes.

Users often confuse No Sound mode with Vibration mode. To completely disable the keyboard's tactile sensations, you need to make sure that the phone is not in vibration mode, since in this mode the system can ignore the settings for disabling tactile response in applications. Switch the phone to No Sound or Do Not Disturb mode for guaranteed results.

Do Not Disturb is the most effective way to temporarily eliminate all distractions, and it allows you to configure exceptions to calls from selected contacts, but completely remove the tactile impact of the interface, a unique feature of MIUI that allows you to flexibly manage notifications.

Turning off vibration on third-party keyboards

Many Xiaomi 10 users prefer to install alternative keyboards, such as SwiftKey, Yandex Keyboard or Grammarly, which are similar to Gboard, but the layout of the elements may differ. If you use a third-party application, you need to look for settings inside it.

Usually, the settings icon is on the top of the keyboard or in a menu called by a long press of a comma or space, and you need to find the section "Sounds and vibrations" or "Input preferences" in the menu, where you can individually adjust the vibration force or turn it off completely.

  • πŸ“± For SwiftKey: Menu β†’ Settings β†’ Sounds and vibrations β†’ Vibration slider.
  • πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί For Yandex.Keyboard: Settings (cogs) β†’ Sounds and vibrations β†’ Press vibration.
  • ⌨️ For Any Other: Look for the Sound, Haptic or Feedback section in the app settings.
What to do if the keyboard settings are reset?
If the vibration settings return to their original ones after rebooting, try clearing the keyboard app cache. Go to Settings β†’ Apps β†’ All Apps β†’ Your Keyboard β†’ Clear the cache. Don’t confuse it with Clear Data, otherwise you’ll lose the learned words and dictionaries.

It is important to understand that third-party keyboards may have their own permissions to access the system. If the vibration returned after the MIUI update, check the application's access rights. Sometimes Xiaomi's security system may restrict background processes, which leads to a reset.

Use of Do Not Disturb Mode and Profiles

To automate the vibration-off process, MIUI profiles are ideal. You can set up a scenario where the phone goes into full silence at a certain time or place, eliminating the need for manual adjustments every time.

Go to the Do Not Disturb settings, where you can set a schedule, for example, from 23:00 to 07:00. In the advanced settings of this mode, make sure that the tick "Block Vibration" is ticked, which ensures that even if you accidentally hit the screen, the Xiaomi 10 will not vibrate.

You can also use geolocation. Set up automatic silence when your phone connects to your office or school's Wi-Fi network, a useful feature for those who often forget to manually switch modes.

Use Xiaomi’s Themes app to find themes that force system sounds and vibrations to be turned off at the interface level. Some minimalist themes have built-in optimization profiles.

Additional methods and troubleshooting

In rare cases, vibration can persist due to software errors or application conflicts. If standard methods do not help, it is worth trying deeper methods of setting. For example, in the Android engineering menu (code # # #64663##), you can check the vibrator engine, but it is not recommended to change the settings there without experience.

Sometimes the problem is solved by simply restarting the device in safe mode, which will determine whether a third-party application is to blame, and if there is no vibration in safe mode, then the conflicting application has been found and needs to be updated or removed.

Also worth checking for system updates. Xiaomi engineers regularly release patches that fix peripheral bugs. Go to Settings β†’ About Phone β†’ MIUI version and check for new versions of the software.

⚠️ Warning: Don't try to disassemble the Xiaomi Mi 10 to turn off the vibrator physically.This is a complex device with adhesive connection, and the autopsy will result in loss of moisture protection and warranty.

Comprehensive approach to setting: Turning off vibration only in the keyboard may not be enough if the system vibration is activated when touching.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Does turning off keyboard vibration affect battery life?
Yes, the vibrator consumes energy. Although pressing consumes minimal charge, with active typing throughout the day, the net effect can be noticeable. Turning off vibration is one way to easily optimize the power consumption of the Xiaomi 10.
Why did the vibration disappear after the MIUI update?
When major system updates (e.g., switching from MIUI 12 to 13 or 14) are introduced, the settings may be reset to factory settings. In some cases, new firmware versions change the logic of the tactile response to make it quieter by default. Check the settings again.
Can you adjust different vibrations for different actions?
This is not possible in standard MIUI settings, but in the Sound and Vibration menu, a vibration intensity slider is sometimes available that adjusts the response strength for all system events at once, including the keyboard.
How do I get back the vibration if I accidentally shut it down?
Just go back: Settings β†’ Additional settings β†’ Language and input β†’ Current keyboard β†’ Preferences and turn on the Tactical Response slider. If you've turned off system vibration, turn it on under Sound and Vibration.
