Turn off the vibration of the buttons on Xiaomi Redmi Note 10: from basic settings to hidden features

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 is one of the most popular mid-range smartphones, but its tactile return when pressing on screen buttons can be annoying, especially when you actively use the keyboard, games or navigation through the menu. Unlike flagship models, where vibration is often adjusted flexibly, in the Redmi Note 10, some options are hidden or require additional manipulation.

In this article, we will discuss all possible ways to turn off vibrations – from standard settings. MIUI beforehand ADB-You'll learn how to remove vibrations when typing, in games, when locking the screen, and even how to completely deactivate the vibrator motor if it interferes. And also nuances that are not described in the official documentation of Xiaomi.

1. Standard vibration shutdown in MIUI settings

To start with, the system's built-in options are the simplest: In the Redmi Note 10 (as in other MIUI 12/13/14) smartphones, some of the vibration parameters are put into a separate menu, but not everyone knows where to look for them.

Go to: Settings → Sound and vibration → Vibration

Here you will see a few sliders:

• 📱 Vibration when touching – disables the recoil when pressing the screen buttons (navigation panel, keyboard).
• 🔑 Block/Unlock Vibration – Removes the response when using the power button.
• 🎮 Vibration in games – deactivates tactile recoil in supported games (e.g, PUBG Mobile or Call of Duty).

Note that even if you turn off all sliders, the vibration may persist in some apps (like WhatsApp or Telegram), which is because messengers use their own notification settings, which are independent of the system.

3. Hidden MIUI settings: disabling vibration through "Special features"

Redmi Note 10 has a little-known section that allows you to point-to-point control vibration for different types of interactions, which is useful if standard settings don’t work or you want to turn off the recoil only for specific actions (for example, when holding buttons).

Follow the instructions:

1. Open Settings → Special Opportunities → Physical Opportunities
2. Select Vibration (on some firmware, the item may be called Tactile Feedback).
3. Turn off the sliders: 🔄 Vibration when pressed - for short touches. 🕒 Retention vibration – for long-term presses (for example, when calling a context menu). 📲 Vibration when interacting with the system – for notifications and system events.

This method often helps in cases where the vibration is maintained despite the shutdowns in the main Sound and Vibration menu, for example, after the MIUI update, some settings may be reset, and "Special Features" remain intact.
