How to Remove Vibration When Typing on Xiaomi: 5 Working Methods

Why the keys vibration is annoying and when to turn it off

Tactile recoil when you press the on-screen keyboard is a feature that is not popular with everyone. For some users, the vibration of the keys on Xiaomi creates the illusion of a “real” press, for others it becomes a source of constant discomfort, especially in quiet rooms, where even a weak motor hum can distract others or interfere with concentration.

The manufacturer by default includes this option on most devices running MIUI — from the budget Redmi Note 12 to the flagship Xiaomi 14 Ultra. However, in some scenarios, it is better to deactivate the vibration:

• 📱 Night time - so as not to wake up household members when correspondence in messengers.
• 🎮 Gaming sessions – keyboard vibrations may conflict with tactile returns in games.
• 🔋 Saving charge – the vibration motor consumes additional energy (albeit a small amount).
• 🛠️ Hardware problems – if vibration is malfunctioning (e.g., rattles or is delayed).

In this article, we will explore all possible ways to disable key vibrations, from standard MIUI settings to hidden settings for advanced users, and how to return tactile recoil if it suddenly disappeared after a system update.

Method 1: Turn off vibration in the MIUI keyboard settings

The most obvious and quick way is to take advantage of the built-in system keyboard options, which works on all Xiaomi smartphones with MIUI 12-14 firmware, including the Redmi, Poco and Black Shark models.

Step instructions:

1. Open any application where the keyboard appears (such as Messages or Notes).
2. Touch the gear badge (⚙️) in the top row of the keyboard to go to its settings.
3. Select Xiaomi Keyboard Settings (or Additional Settings if Gboard is used).
4. Scroll down to the Vibration section when pressed and move the slider to the off position.

⚠️ Note: On some models (e.g. Poco) F5 or Redmi K60) If you don't find Vibration when you press, check the Sound and Vibration section in the phone's basic settings.

Also note that after updating MIUI, the location of options sometimes changes. If the keyboard does not respond to changes, try restarting the device or resetting it to factory settings (for this, see one of the following sections).

Method 2: Deactivation through system sound settings

If the keys are not turned off via the keyboard settings, try doing it globally through the Sound and Vibration menu, which affects all system vibrations, including notifications and touches, so use it carefully.

Algorithm of action:

• 📱 Open the Settings. → Sound and vibration.
• 🔍 Scroll to the Vibration block and select Vibration when touching.
• ❌ Turn off the slider or select the No Vibration option.

⚠️ Warning: Disabling vibration through this menu will block all tactile responses in the system, including call notifications and SMS. If you need to leave vibrations for alerts only, use Method 1 or Method 3.

💡

If the vibration still works after the shutdown, check if the phone has third-party launchers (like Nova Launcher or HyperOS Launcher) that can have their own tactile recoil settings.

Method 3: Use Do Not Disturb Mode to Temporarily Shut Down

If you need to turn off the key vibration temporarily (for example, during a meeting or at night), the most convenient way to use Do Not Disturb (DND) mode is to use the Do Not Disturb mode.

How to turn on:

1. Smash down the notification bar and hold the Do Not Disturb icon (🔔 cross-belled).
2. Select Settings → Rules → Create a rule.
3. Specify the conditions (e.g., Time or Event).
4. In the Vibration section, set the value without sound or vibration.
5. Save the rule and activate it.

Advantages of this method:

• ⏱️ Automation – you can set a schedule (for example, from 23:00 to 7:00).
• 🔄 Flexibility – Vibration only shuts down during predetermined periods.
• 📵 No loss of functionality - after the cancellation of the mode, all settings return to the original state.

⚠️ Warning: Do Not Disturb also blocks notification and call sounds (unless exceptions are configured.

Method 4: Disabling vibration through ADB (for advanced users)

If the standard methods don’t work, you can use Android Debug Bridge (ADB) to debug, a method that is suitable for advanced users, as it requires a computer connection and command knowledge.

Step-by-step:

1. 🖥️ Install. ADB-Drivers on PC and enable Debugging by USB on a smartphone (Settings) → The phone. → Version. MIUI → 7 times to unlock the developer menu → For developers → Debugging by USB).
2. 🔌 Connect your phone to your computer and open the command line (or Terminal on the computer). Mac/Linux).
3. 📝 Enter the command to check the connection: Adb devices Make sure your device appears in the list.
4. 🔧 Execute the command to turn off the keyboard vibration: adb shell settings put system haptic_feedback_enabled 0
5. 🔄 Reboot your smartphone.

To return the vibration back, use the same command, replacing 0 with 1.

⚠️ Attention: Misuse of the right ADB It can cause system failures or data loss. Before executing commands, it is recommended to create a backup through Settings. → Additionally. → Backup and reset.

💡

ADB-commands allow you to turn off vibration at the system level, but require caution. This method is useful if the vibration of the keys is not controlled through a standard menu (for example, after custom firmware).

Method 5: Reset keyboard settings to factory

If the key vibration is not behaving correctly (for example, it turns on itself or works with a delay), resetting the keyboard will help, which will return all parameters to the out-of-the-box state, including tactile recoil.

How to reset your settings:

• 📱 Open the Settings. → Annexes → Application management.
• 🔍 Find the Xiaomi Keyboard (or Gboard if you use it) in the list).
• 🗑️ Select Warehouse. → Clear the data and confirm the action.
• 🔄 Reboot the phone.

After resetting, the keyboard will return to factory settings, and the vibration can be turned off again via the standard menu (see Method 1).

⚠️ Attention: Clearing the keyboard data will remove:

• 📝 Saved words from the user dictionary.
• 🎨 Thematic design of the keyboard.
• ⚡ Sign settings and auto-replacement.

It is recommended to pre-screenshot current settings or sync the dictionary with your Google account (if Gboard is used).

What to do if the vibration of the keys disappears on its own

Sometimes users have the opposite problem: the vibration of typing stops working for no apparent reason, which can happen after updating MIUI, resetting the settings or installing a third-party keyboard.

Possible causes and solutions:

If none of these methods worked, try updating your firmware to the latest version or resetting your phone to factory settings (Settings → Additional → Backup and Reset → Resetting).

💡

Before resetting your settings, save important data (photos, contacts, messages) to the Mi Cloud or your computer. Use the built-in backup function in Settings → About Phone → Backup and Reset.
