Modern smartphones like the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 S offer users tactile returns every time they touch the screen, creating the illusion of mechanical tapping. This feature, called vibrating, is designed to improve the user experience by confirming the success of character input. However, for many owners, this option becomes a source of irritation, especially when typing long texts or using the device in quiet rooms.
Constant shaking under your fingers can quickly tire you out, and also significantly reduce battery life. Owners of the Redmi Note 10 S often face a situation where standard settings seem hidden or scattered across different menus of the MIUI shell. Our goal is to take a detailed look at all possible ways to eliminate this feature so that you can customize the device for yourself.
In this article, we will look not only at system settings, but also at specific application settings for text input, and you will learn how to manage the tactile sensations at the system level and at the individual keyboard level, which will allow you to fully control the behavior of your smartphone.
System settings of tactile recoil in MIUI
The first step to getting rid of the intrusive vibration is to learn the general settings of the operating system. The MIUI shell installed on the Redmi Note 10 S has its own tactile control layer that operates globally, and if this setting is activated, it can force the shaking to occur even in applications where it appears to be disabled.
To access these settings, you need to go to the Settings menu, then select Sound and Vibration. You can find Vibration on touch or Tactile response. Disabling this slider deaktivates the system vibration of the interface, but may not affect the specific settings of the keyboard itself.
⚠️ Warning: Disabling system vibration will also remove the response when dialing in the standard Phone app and when navigating through the settings menu.
It's important to understand the difference between interface vibration and input vibration. Sometimes there's a separate slider on the Sound and Vibration menu that's responsible for the input vibration, and it depends on the version of MIUI firmware installed on your Redmi Note 10 S. If there's no such separate switch, then the control is completely transferred to the keyboard applications.
💡
Before making changes to your sound settings, check whether Do Not Disturb or No Sound mode is enabled, as they can mask the vibration but not turn it off programmatically.
Setting up the standard Gboard keyboard
Most Xiaomi devices, including the Redmi Note 10 S, have Google’s Gboard keyboard installed by default, a powerful tool that has its own system-independent tactile recoil settings. Even if the system’s vibration is off, the Gboard can continue to vibrate every time you press.
To change this behavior, open any application that requires text input to make the keyboard appear. Click on the Settings gear icon in the keyboard toolbar or go to the phone's Settings, find the Additional Settings section and select Language and Type. Next, select Gboard from the list of active input methods.
In the keyboard settings menu, we're interested in Preferences, and this is where the Vibration switch is hidden when pressed, and when you move the slider to an inactive state, you completely turn off the tactile key response, and you can also adjust the duration of the vibration if you don't need to shut it down completely.
- 📱 Open the keyboard settings through the gear on the symbol bar.
- ⚙️ Go to the “Preferences” section of the Gboard Settings menu.
- 🚫 Find the item “Vibration when pressed” and turn it off.
- ⏱️ If necessary, adjust the duration of vibration slider below.
It's worth noting that updates to the Gboard app can sometimes reset user preferences or change menu layout.If the Redmi Note 10 S started vibrating again after the Redmi Note 10 update, check this section again.Tactile recoil is a feature that developers often try to return to the active state by default.
Vibration management in Miui Keyboard
Some regions and firmware versions for the Redmi Note 10 S pre-installed the Miui Keyboard. It has its own settings interface, which is different from Gboard. The principle of operation is similar, but the path to the desired switch can confuse the inexperienced user.
You can also use the gear icon on the keyboard itself to access the Miui Keyboard settings. An alternative route is through the system menu: Settings → Additional settings → Language and input → Keyboard management. Select Miui Keyboard and go to Settings.
You need to find the Sound and Vibration tab here, or just Vibration. Unlike Gboard, you can have more detailed control, including vibration force, and you can turn the function off completely by putting the corresponding switch to the off position.
⚠️ Note: If you use third-party themes for MIUI, They can force the keyboard vibration settings back to their values.
Redmi Note 10 S users sometimes note that the Miui Keyboard may be unstable after changing the region of the device. If the settings reset by themselves, try changing the region in the main settings of the phone to Russia or India, where the localization of keyboards usually works more stable.

Third-party keyboards and their specifics
If Xiaomi’s standard solutions don’t suit you, you can install a third-party keyboard, such as SwiftKey or Yandex Keyboard, which have their own tactile response algorithms, which are often more flexible and convenient.
When you install a new keyboard on the Redmi Note 10 S, it will ask permission to access the data entry. Once activated, go to the settings of this particular application. Usually the section is called "Input", "Sounds and Vibrations" or "Preferences." The logic remains the same: look for the slider responsible for vibration, and turn it off.
The advantage of third-party keyboards is that they often allow you to create profiles for different situations, for example, you can set up a profile "Night", where the vibration is turned off completely, and a profile "Day", where it works at a minimum.
- 📥 Download the keyboard app from the Google Play Store.
- ✅ Activate the new keyboard in the language and input settings.
- 🔧 Open the settings of the installed application and find the tactile recoil section.
- 🌙 Set up profiles or schedules to automatically turn off vibrations.
Using alternative solutions can solve the problem not only with vibration, but also with the quality of autocorrection and predictive set. Redmi Note 10 S has enough performance to smoothly work with any "heavy" keyboards without delay.
Additional parameters of sound and vibration
In addition to the explicit keyboard settings, there are hidden or less obvious parameters in Android and MIUI that affect device behavior, such as Sound Improvement or Mi Sound, which can indirectly affect vibration drivers, although this is rare.
You should also look at In Your Pocket mode or the various scenarios in the Security app, which can sometimes include macros that enhance recoil. Check the settings in Settings → Special Options. Make sure that they don't activate features that enhance tactile signals for people with visual or hearing impairments.
| Parameter | Location. | Effect on vibration |
|---|---|---|
| Vibration on touch | Sound and vibration | Global shutdown of system vibrations |
| Press vibration | Keyboard settings | Turns off the shaking only when printing |
| Do Not Disturb mode | Control panel | Can block notification vibration but not input |
| Tactical response | Special opportunities | Additional vibration force settings |
Turning off keyboard sounds in the same menus where vibration is set up will help create a completely quiet and calm input mode.
☑️ Checking the sound settings
Solving problems and resetting settings
There are situations where a software failure causes the Redmi Note 10 S to continue vibrating even after all the shutdowns, which may be due to an application conflict or an error in the cache of system services, in which case cleaning the data of the Settings application or the keyboard itself helps.
To do this, go to the Settings. → Annexes → All applications. Find your keyboard (like Gboard), click Clear → Clear all data. ⚠️ Warning: Cleaning the keyboard data will remove the saved dictionary and input history, you will have to learn autocorrection again.
If the problem persists, it may be a physical defect in the vibrator motor or plume, although this is not common on the Redmi Note 10 S. As a last resort, you can reset all settings to factory settings, saving important data beforehand, which will return the system parameters to the original state.
- 🗑️ Clear the cache and keyboard app data.
- 🔄 Check for system updates in the About Phone menu».
- 🛠️ In Safe Mode, check if the problem persists (excludes the impact of third-party apps).
- ♻️ Complete a full reset if the software methods do not help.
Sometimes it helps to just update the firmware. Xiaomi engineers regularly release patches that fix peripheral management bugs. Check the About Phone section and click on the MIUI version to check for new versions.
💡
If vibration persists after resetting settings and in safe mode, there is a high probability of a physical malfunction of the vibromotor requiring repair.
