Why is the keyboard vibration annoying and how to remove it on the Mi 10?
Vibrational response when typing on Xiaomi Mi 10 is a feature that is not popular with everyone. For some, it creates the illusion of “tactile feedback”, while for others it becomes a source of discomfort: distracts from thoughts, drains the battery and even can interfere with others (for example, in a quiet environment), especially a problem for users who type a lot – in instant messengers, social networks or when working with documents.
In this article, we will discuss all possible ways to turn off vibration on the Mi 10 keyboard, including the standard one. MIUI-Keyboard, Gboard, and third-party apps, and we'll also find out why settings are sometimes reset after a system update, and how to prevent that. If you want to bring back silence when typing, read on.
Before you get to the instructions, note that on different versions of MIUI (12, 13, 14) and firmware (Global, China, EU), the location of menu items may differ slightly. But the general logic remains the same. If you do not find the right option the first time, use the search in the settings (lamp in the upper right corner).
Method 1: Turn off vibration in a standard MIUI keyboard
If you use a Xiaomi keyboard, the algorithm is as follows: This method works on most versions of MIUI, including current builds for the Mi 10.
Steps:

- Touch the gear badge (⚙️) on the keyboard panel to go to its settings.
- Select Keyboard Settings (or Additional Settings, depending on version).
- Find the Vibration section when pressed (could be called Tactile Feedback) and move the slider to the "Off" position.
If your version of MIUI doesn’t have a direct vibration switch, try an alternative path:

Important: After updating MIUI, the keyboard settings may reset. To avoid this, back up the settings via Settings → About Phone → Backup before the update.
Method 2: Set up vibration in Gboard (Google keyboard)
Many Mi 10 users prefer Gboard because of its flexibility and integration with Google services, and it is even easier to turn off vibrations than in a standard keyboard.
Instructions:
- Open Gboard in any text field.
- Click on the three-point icon (⋮) top-right corner of the keyboard.
- Select Settings, then Text Entering Options.
- Scroll down to the Vibration section when pressed and turn off the slider.
Gboard can also adjust the vibration force (unless you want to turn it off completely).
- 🎚️ Return to the text entry settings.
- 🔄 Find the Vibration Intensity and move the slider to the left.
- 📱 Restart the keyboard (close and open the app again).
💡
If it still works after turning off vibration in Gboard, clear the app cache: Settings → Apps → Gboard → Storage → Clear the cache.
Method 3: Turn off vibration for all keyboards through system settings
If you want to globally disable vibration for all keyboards (including third-party ones), you can use Android system settings.This method is suitable for the Mi 10 on any version of MIUI, but has a nuance: it will block vibration not only when typing, but also in some other elements of the interface.
How to do this:
- Go to Settings. → Sound and vibration.
- Choose Vibration (or Tactile Effects in the newer versions).
- Turn off the Vibration setting when touching.
| Parameter | What's off? | Impact on the keyboard |
|---|---|---|
| Vibration on touch | All tactile responses in the system | Turns off vibration on all keyboards |
| Vibration when dialing (in keyboard settings) | Only vibration of a specific keyboard | Does not affect other interface elements |
| Vibration Intensity (in Gboard) | Regulates the strength of the response | Allows you to reduce vibration without completely switching off |
What if the vibration returns after resetting?
On Xiaomi Mi 10 with MIUI 14 firmware and later, disabling vibration through system settings may not work for some third-party keyboards (e.g. SwiftKey).
Method 4: Use Do Not Disturb Mode to Temporarily Shut Down
If you need to temporarily remove vibrations (such as in a meeting or at night), you can use Do Not Disturb mode, which turns off all sounds and vibrations, including the keyboard.
How to activate:
- 🔔 Swipe down the screen to open the notification bar.
- 🔕 Find the Do Not Disturb icon (usually next to the volume control) and tap it.
- 📱 In the mode settings (Settings) → Sound and vibration → Do not disturb) choose No sound and no vibration.
The downside is that, along with the keyboard vibration, all notifications will be turned off, but it works instantly and does not require deep adjustments.

Method 5: Disabling vibration through ADB (for advanced users)
If standard methods do not work (for example, due to custom firmware or a bug in MIUI), you can use ADB commands. This method requires connecting the phone to a computer and basic knowledge of working with the console.
Instructions:
- Enable USB Debugging on Mi 10 (Settings → About Phone → MIUI Version → 7 times tap the version number → Return to Additional Settings → For Developers → Debugging on USB).

- 📱 Application conflict: Some programs (such as launchers or optimizers) can override system settings.
- 🛠️ Bugs in firmware: on some assemblies MIUI (Especially beta versions, the vibration can be triggered arbitrarily, so the solution is to upgrade to a stable version.
