How to remove the vibration of the buttons on Xiaomi: all ways to disable

The button vibrating on Xiaomi smartphones is one of those features that users either like or annoy to the point of being impossible. Tactile feedback when you press the screen or physical keys can seem useful for confirming actions, but often becomes a source of discomfort: distracting during games, draining the battery or simply interfering in quiet conditions. Fortunately, MIUI offers several ways to adjust or completely turn off vibrations - both at the system level and for individual applications.

In this article, we will analyze all the current methods of removing the vibration of buttons on Xiaomi, Redmi devices, POCO And Black Shark, including hidden settings that aren't always obvious, and you'll learn how to turn off vibration when typing, pressing on-screen buttons, and for physical keys (such as volume buttons). MIUI (12 to 14) and smartphone models – from the budget Redmi Note to the flagship Xiaomi 13.

Why can the vibration of the buttons be a problem?

At first glance, tactile feedback seems to be a harmless function, but in practice it causes a number of inconveniences:

• 🔋 Increased battery consumption: Vibration motor is one of the most energy-consuming components of a smartphone. Constant microvibrations when typing or scrolling can reduce battery life by 5-15%.
• 🎮 In dynamic shooters or races, extra vibration takes away attention from gameplay, and in strategies it interferes with accurate clicks.
• 📱 Wearing mechanism: Cheap vibratory motors in budget models (Redmi) 9A, POCO M3) Over time, they start to rattle or work unstablely.
• 😴 In the library, at a lecture or at night, even a slight vibration can distract you and others.

In addition, on some devices (such as Black Shark 5), the vibration of the buttons is duplicated with feedback from the game triggers, which creates chaotic tactile noise.

Method 4: Use Do Not Disturb Mode to Temporarily Shut Down

If you need to quickly remove the vibration for a while (for example, in a meeting or in a movie), but do not want to dig into the settings, use Do Not Disturb (DND) mode, which turns off all vibrations and sounds except the alarm clock.
