How to completely disable the vibration of the keys on Xiaomi phones: all ways

Key vibration on Xiaomi smartphones is a feature that is not popular with all users. For some, it serves as a useful haptic feedback, for others it becomes a source of irritation, especially during long-term typing. If you are in the second category, this article will help you understand how to remove the vibration when you press the keys in the standard MIUI keyboard, third-party applications and system menus.

The manufacturer hides these settings in different sections depending on the firmware version and device model. We have collected current methods for all modern versions of MIUI (12 to 14) and Android (11-14), including features for the Redmi line, POCO and flagship models. It is important to note that some parameters may differ on customized firmware or regional versions of the software.

Before you start settings, check the version of your firmware in the Settings menu → About Phone → MIUI version. This will help you navigate the instructions below. Also remember that turning off vibration does not affect the device’s performance, but can make typing less tactile.

1.Switch off vibration in the standard MIUI keyboard

The standard keyboard application in MIUI has built-in vibration settings that can be adjusted or completely disabled, a method that works on most Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO devices with original firmware.

To get to the right menu:

1. Open any application where the keyboard appears (such as Messages or Notes)
2. Touch the gear badge (⚙️) keyboard
3. Select Keyboard Settings or Additional Settings
4. Go to Vibration on Press or Tactile Feedback

In this section, you will see a slider or switch to turn off vibrations. Some models (for example, Xiaomi 13 Pro or Redmi Note 12) may have an additional option to adjust the vibration force, which can also be set to a minimum value.

Open any text field | Find the settings icon on the keyboard | Check the "Vibration" section | Disable all sliders and switches-->

⚠️ Note: On some devices with MIUI 14 The path to settings may be different. If you don't find "Vibration" in the main keyboard settings, try the path: Settings → System and device → Language and input → Virtual keyboard → Keyboard settings MIUI → Vibration.

2. Vibration settings in Gboard and other keyboards

If you use an alternative keyboard, like Google's Gboard or SwiftKey, the process of turning off vibrations will be different. These apps have their own settings, independent of the system settings of MIUI.

For Gboard:

1. Open any text field and call the keyboard
2. Click on the tri-point icon (⋮) orgs (⚙️)
3. Select Settings → Sound when pressed
4. Turn off the Vibration option when you press the keys

For SwiftKey, the path will be: Settings → Sound and vibration → Vibration when pressed. In some versions of the application, this item may be called Tactile Feedback.

If you use a different keyboard, the path to vibration settings can usually be found under "Sound" or "Feedback"; at the very least, check the documentation for a particular application on Google Play.

💡

After turning off the vibration in the keyboard, restart the device - this will help apply the settings to all applications, including system ones.

3.System vibration shutdown in MIUI

In addition to the keyboard vibration, MIUI has separate settings for system vibration that are triggered when you press virtual buttons (such as navigation buttons or interface elements), which are located in another settings section.

To turn off the system vibration:

1. Go to Settings → Sound and vibration
2. Select Vibration or Tactile Feedback
3. Turn off the options: 📱 Vibration when touching (for interface elements) 🔙 Vibration when pressing navigation buttons 🔄 Vibration when scrolling (on some models)

On devices with MIUI 13 and later, there may be a separate keyboard Vibration switch in the same section - it should also be turned off for full effect.

Note that turning off system vibration affects not only the keyboard, but also other interface elements, and if you only need vibration for notifications or calls, you can leave these settings on by adjusting their intensity in the same menu.

4. Features for different Xiaomi models

MIUI has many modifications for different regions and device models, which means that the location of the vibration settings may vary slightly.

For flagship models (Xiaomi 12/13/14 series, Mix 4/Fold):

• 📱 Vibration settings are usually in Settings → Display. → Additional settings → Vibration.
• 🔊 There is a separate section for setting up the camera vibration and multimedia
• 🎚️ Support for fine tuning of vibration intensity (3-5 level)

For the Redmi Note series (Note 10/11/12):

• 📱 Standard path: Settings → Sound and vibration → Vibration.
• 🔄 On some models there is no adjustment of vibration force - only on / off
• 📲 Keyboard vibration can be tied to system settings

For POCO (F3/F4/F5, X3/X4/X5):

• 📱 The path is similar to Redmi, but with a brand design POCO Launcher
• 🔊 In some versions there is a separate switch Game vibration
• 🎯 Nana POCO F4 GT Vibration is turned off through Settings → Special facilities → Physical buttons

5. Disabling vibration through ADB (for power users)

If standard methods don’t work or you want to turn off vibrations completely at the system level, you can use the ADB (Android Debug Bridge) command, which requires connecting the phone to your computer and turning on the developer mode.

Instructions:

1. Enable Developer Mode (7 times click on the MIUI version in Settings → About Phone)
2. Activate USB Debugging in Settings → Additional → For Developers
3. Connect your phone to your PC and execute the command: adb shell settings put system haptic_feedback_enabled 0
4. To turn off the vibration of the keyboard, additionally perform: adb shell settings put system vibration_intensity 0

To get the vibration back, replace the 0 with 1 commands above, a technique that works on most Android 10 and later devices, but may require root rights on some customized firmware.

⚠️ Attention: Misuse of the right ADB-You can have a system failure before you execute a command, back up your important data. If you're not sure what you're doing, you'd better use standard methods to shut down the vibration.

6.Problems and solutions

Sometimes users are faced with a situation where the vibration does not turn off despite all the actions taken.

Vibration returns after rebooting

• 🔄 Check if the settings are reset due to battery optimization. Add the keyboard app to the exceptions: Settings → Battery → Optimizing the battery → All applications → Find the keyboard. → No restrictions.
• 📱 Update the firmware to the latest version – in older versions MIUI There were bugs with saving vibration settings
• 🔧 Reset the keyboard settings through Settings → Annexes → keyboard → Warehouse → Reset

There is no "Vibration" in the keyboard settings

• 🔍 Make sure you are using the latest version of the keyboard. Update it via Google Play or Settings → Annexes → keyboard → Update
• 📲 Try changing the theme of the keyboard – sometimes the vibration settings only appear in a standard theme.
• 🛠️ Install an alternative keyboard (such as Gboard) where vibration settings are guaranteed to be present

Vibration only works in some applications

• 🎯 Check the vibration settings in the apps themselves (for example, WhatsApp or Telegram have separate options for notifications)
• 🔕 Turn off vibration for notifications via Settings → Notifications → Notification settings → Vibration.
• 📊 Use the MacroDroid app to create a rule that will force vibrations to be turned off in all applications.

💡

If the vibration doesn’t turn off through standard settings, check for firmware and app updates first. 80% of the time, the problem is resolved after the update.

7. Alternative methods of vibration control
