How to turn off vibration on the keyboard Xiaomi Poco X3

Modern smartphones like the Xiaomi Poco X3 have evolved into powerful multimedia centers where tactile recoil plays an important role in the user experience. However, despite the thoughtfulness of the MIUI interface, many users experience an intrusive vibration when printing, which can irritate in a quiet environment or simply interfere with focus.

The process of deactivating the tactile response does not require superuser rights or complex manipulation of system files. The engineering menu is not necessary here, since all the necessary switches are hidden in the standard settings of the Android operating system and the MIUI shell. It is important to understand that different modules can be responsible for vibration, so you will need to check several menu items to completely eliminate sound and shaking the case.

In this article, we will take a look at all the possible ways to turn off tactile signals, from standard keyboard settings to system sound parameters. You will learn how to customize the Gboard to yourself, change the parameters of system vibration and even use special codes for fine calibration of the motor. Follow the instructions to make using your Poco X3 as comfortable as possible.

Basic settings of the Gboard keyboard

The most obvious and frequently used method is to change the settings of the keyboard itself. Xiaomi smartphones have Google’s Gboard keyboard installed by default, which has a flexible settings system. To get to the desired menu, open any application that requires text input, such as a message or notes, and call the on-screen keyboard.

In the keyboard toolbar, find the gear icon or the comma icon to open the settings menu. Then go to Preferences or Settings. This is where the switch that controls the tactile response when you press virtual buttons hides. If you use a third-party keyboard, the path may be different, but the logic remains similar.

• 📱 Open any application to enter text and call the keyboard.
• ⚙️ Click on the settings icon (cog) on the top panel of the keyboard.
• 🔇 Find the item “Sound on press” or “Vibration on press” and turn it off.
• 💾 Save the changes and check the result in the text box.

It's worth noting that some versions of the MIUI shell can duplicate the keyboard settings in the phone's general settings menu. If you can't change the settings through the keyboard itself, try looking for the Language and Input section in the general system settings, where you can control Gboard behavior more deeply, including resetting to factory settings if software failures occur.

💡

If the vibration switch in Gboard is inactive (grey), check if the phone is not enabled with Do Not Disturb or Silent Mode, as they can block tactile settings from changing.

System settings of sound and vibration

Often users tune the keyboard, but forget that the system layer can also be responsible for tactile response. In the Xiaomi Poco X3, there is a global parameter that makes the device vibrate whenever you touch the screen, including typing, which is made for uniformity of the interface, but may be redundant.

To access these settings, you need to go to the main Settings menu and select the Sound and Vibration section. Scroll down to the Additional or Touch Vibration section, and there's a switch that forcefully activates the motor whenever you interact with the interface, ignoring the settings of individual applications.

Turning off this option is guaranteed to remove vibration when printing, but also removes tactile response when dialing a number in the “bell” or navigating the menu. Tactile recoil is a useful feature that confirms the action, so before you completely turn it off, think about whether you will be comfortable typing blindly without physical confirmation of touch.

In the same settings section, you can find the option “Vibration when dialing.” Even if you have turned off the vibration in the keyboard, this system setting can continue to generate sounds when you enter numbers in the Phone app. Make sure that all adjacent switches in the Sound and Vibration section are set to your preferences.

Configure through the “Language and Input” menu

If previous methods have not yielded the desired result, or if the keyboard interface is different from the standard one, you should turn to a deeper level of input settings. There is a separate menu in the MIUI shell that aggregates the parameters of all the input methods installed, this is especially true if you have recently updated the system or installed a new keyboard.

Go to Settings → Additional Settings → Languages and input. In the list that opens, select Keyboard Management or Current Keyboard. This shows all available input methods. Select the active keyboard to navigate to its specific settings, which can override general system settings.

Within the keyboard control menu, look at the sections associated with Physical Keyboard (if external) and Screen Keyboard. Sometimes the system may confuse priorities, and you need to turn off vibrations here in the profile of a particular input method, which allows you to have different settings for different keyboards, if there are several.

• 🔍 Go to "Settings» → «Additionally» → «Languages and input».
• ⌨️ Select the item "Keyboard management».
• 🏷️ Click on the name of your active keyboard (e.g. Gboard).
• 🚫 Find and disable the option “Vibration on press” in the menu that opens.

Use of the Engineering Menu for Calibration

For advanced users who want to gain full control of the vibration motor, there is the CIT (Customer Integration Test) engineering menu, a hidden diagnostic section designed to test hardware components, which can not only check the vibration's health, but also in some cases reset its settings or check the frequency.

To enter the engineering menu, open the Phone app and dial ##6484##. The test list will open. Find the "Vibrator" or "Vibration" item in the list. Once you run the test, you can estimate the intensity of the motor. Although there is no direct "switch off forever" switch, this tool is useful for diagnosing: if the vibration is not working correctly (intermittent or too weak), the problem may be in the hardware.

Code for entering the MIUI engineering menu

Some firmware versions also have ##4636##, which opens the test menu, and you can find additional settings in the "Phone information" section, although they are more commonly network-specific, but having access to diagnostics makes sure that the software's vibration shutdown works correctly at the driver level.

💡

The engineering menu is a powerful diagnostic tool, but beware: changing unknown parameters can lead to unstable system operation.

Third-party applications for vibration management

If standard MIUI is not enough or you want more granular control, Google Play apps come to the rescue. There are utilities that allow you to create vibration profiles, adjust response strength for different applications, and even turn off the motor on a schedule.

One popular solution is Lesser Notification Icons, or custom tweakers like Vibration Master, which require special permissions via ADB (Android Debug Bridge) or root permissions, but give you full control of the system, and you can, for example, leave the vibration only for calls, completely removing it from the keyboard and browser.

Using third-party software is especially important for models where the manufacturer has sewn the vibration settings deep into the system without giving the user adjustment sliders. However, remember that installing applications with deep access rights requires trust in the developer and careful consideration of permissions.

Solving problems with sticking settings

Sometimes users are faced with a situation where after turning off the vibration returns itself after a while or after rebooting.This can be caused by a bug in a particular version of MIUI or application conflict. In such cases, it is recommended to reset the keyboard to the factory settings, without removing dictionaries and input history, if possible.

⚠️ Note: Before resetting your keyboard settings, make sure you remember your Google account, as some sync settings may require re-authorization.

Another cause of the “resurrection” vibration may be activated mode “In the pocket” or special accessibility features. Check the section “Advanced settings” → “Special features” There may be included vibration functions for the visually impaired, which take precedence over conventional sound settings.

If nothing works, try clearing the cache of the Settings and Google Play Services app. Often, it is cached data that causes conflicts in the work of the system services responsible for tactile returns. After cleaning the cache, be sure to restart the device to apply changes.
