How to Remove Vibration When Typing on Xiaomi Redmi 10: The Complete Guide

Vibrating the keyboard on the Xiaomi Redmi 10 can be a useful feature for those who are used to tactile feedback when typing. However, for many users, the constant jitter of the smartphone becomes an annoying factor — especially if you are actively texting in messengers or working with documents. Fortunately, the manufacturer has provided several ways to disable this option in both the standard MIUI keyboard and third-party applications like Gboard.

In this article, we'll look at all the possible methods for deactivating vibration, from basic system settings to hidden developer settings, how to completely remove the impact of keystrokes, adjust the intensity of the keystrokes, or turn it off only for specific applications, and we'll also explain why sometimes the vibration returns on its own and how to avoid it.

Why the vibration of the keyboard can interfere

At first glance, tactile recoil seems like a harmless function, but in practice, it creates a few problems:

• 🔋 Battery consumption: The constant operation of the vibration motor increases power consumption by 3-7% (depending on the intensity of the keyboard use).
• 🎯 Distraction: Vibration can interfere with concentration, especially if you type a long message or work in a quiet room.
• 🛠️ Long-term operation of the vibrator motor theoretically reduces its life (although in practice this is unlikely for modern smartphones).
• 📱 Uncomfortable with holding your phone: Vibrations cause your smartphone to "jump" in your hand, making it difficult to type with one hand.

In addition, on Redmi 10, the keyboard vibration sometimes works with a delay or is unstable due to the features of the MIUI firmware. This is due to the optimization of power consumption when the system suspends the vibrator motor in the background, as a result, you can feel uneven recoil or random “missing” vibrations.

⚠️ Note: If the vibration of the keyboard is accompanied by extraneous sounds (squeaking, crackling) - this may indicate the entry of dust into the vibromotor. In this case, we recommend contacting the service center, as self-cleaning can damage the device.

Method 1: Turn off vibration in a standard MIUI keyboard

If you use a pre-installed Xiaomi keyboard (called the Mi or Mi Keyboard), you can turn off the vibration right in its settings. Here is a step-by-step instruction:

1. Open any application that has a field to enter text (such as Messages or Notes).
2. Tap the input field to make the keyboard appear.
3. Click on the gear icon (⚙️) in the top row of the keyboard to open the settings.
4. Go to Sound and Vibration (or Press Feedback depending on the MIUI version).
5. Move the slider Vibration when pressed to the off position..
6. To save the changes, press Ready or go back.

If your version of MIUI doesn’t have a separate point for vibration, try the following path:

Settings → Additional settings → Language and input → Current keyboard (Mi Keyboard) → Settings → Sound and vibration

In some firmware, the option may be called Tactile Feedback or Press Response. If you don't find the right item, update the keyboard via Google Play - sometimes newer versions add missing settings.

Method 2: Setting up Gboard (Google keyboard)

Many Redmi 10 users prefer Gboard, a keyboard from Google that offers more customization options. To turn off the vibration in it, follow the following steps:

1. Open the phone settings.
2. Go to System → Language and Entering → Virtual Keyboard.
3. Select Gboard (if it is not listed, install it from Google Play).
4. Click Settings → Text entry settings.
5. Scroll down to the section Sound upon pressing and Vibration upon pressing.
6. Turn off the Vibration slider when pressed.

You can also adjust the vibration intensity in Gboard (unless you want to shut it off completely).

1. In the same settings Gboard, find the option Additional settings.
2. Select the Vibration Force and move the slider to the left to reduce recoil.

Note that some versions of Gboard may have the vibration option hidden in the Topic and Design submenu or Feedback. If you don't find the right item, try resetting the keyboard to factory settings:

Settings Gboard → Three dots (⋮) → Reset settings

⚠️ Note: After resetting your Gboard settings, you will have to reconfigure your dictionary, themes, and other settings.

Method 3: Global Vibration Disconnection in MIUI settings

If you want to turn off vibration not only for the keyboard, but also for all system events (notifications, calls, touches), you can use the global settings of MIUI. This method is suitable for those who fundamentally do not like tactile recoil.

Instructions:

1. Open the smartphone settings.
2. Go to Sound and Vibration.
3. Select Vibration (or Tactile Feedback in new versions of MIUI 14).
4. Turn off the vibration slider when touching.
5. To completely disable, also deactivate Call Vibration and Notification Vibration (optional).

This method has two important nuances:

• ✅ It turns off vibration in all applications, not just in the keyboard.
• ❌ Some system events (such as an alarm clock) may ignore this setting and vibrate independently of it.

If the vibration still works after the shutdown, check if individual apps override it, such as WhatsApp or Telegram have their own notification settings, where the vibration can be turned on separately.

Method 4: Use of the "Do Not Disturb" mode

If you need to temporarily turn off vibrations (such as in a meeting or at night), you can use Do Not Disturb (DND) mode, which allows you to flexibly configure which notifications and vibrations will be blocked.

How to set up:

1. Open Settings → Sound and vibration → Do not disturb.
2. Activate the mode by moving the slider to the position On.
3. Click the Schedule to set up automatic turn on (for example, from 23:00 to 8:00).
4. In the Rules section, select Only the alarm clock or No notifications.
5. Make sure that the Vibration option is turned off in the mode settings.

Regime. DND Convenient because it can be quickly enabled through the notification panel (swipe down) → icon 🔔 With a bell crossed out, the keyboard vibration will be switched off along with other tactile signals.

If you need to leave sound notifications but remove vibration, select the sound only option in the DND rules and manually turn off vibration in the keyboard settings.

💡

MIUI 14 has a Smart DND Mode feature that automatically turns on while you sleep (if you synchronize your sleep data with the Mi Band), which is convenient for those who forget to manually turn on the mode.

Method 5: Disconnect through Developer Settings

For power users who want to fully control the vibrator, there is a hidden option in the developer settings that allows you to turn off vibration at the system level, but requires caution - incorrect changes can affect the stability of the smartphone.

How to activate and use:

1. Open the Settings. → The phone.
2. Find the MIUI version and click on it 7 times in a row until you become a developer!
3. Go back to the main Settings menu and find a new Developer section (usually at the bottom).
4. Scroll down to the Input block and find the option to Turn off vibration when touching (or Disable Haptic Feedback in English firmware).
5. Activate it and restart the smartphone.

This method completely disables vibration for all system events, including the keyboard, but can conflict with some applications. For example, games or banking programs sometimes use their own vibration API, which does not obey system settings.

⚠️ Attention: In the developer settings, there is an option to turn off absolute volume (in the Network section), activating it can lead to problems with the sound in Bluetooth headphones. Do not change other settings unless you are sure of their purpose.

Frequent problems and their solutions

Even after the vibration is turned off, it can continue to work, and here are the most common reasons and ways to eliminate them:

• 🔄 The vibration comes back after the reset. It's all about optimization. MIUI, Solution: Turn off Auto-Optimization in Settings. → Battery → Battery settings.
• 📱 Vibration only works in some applications. Some programs (e.g., software, VK Or TikTok) have their own keyboard settings. Check them in the settings of a particular application.
• 🔧 There's no Vibration in your keyboard settings. Update your keyboard via Google Play or reset it. If that doesn't work, try reinstalling the app.
• 🛠️ Vibration is accompanied by extraneous sounds, which may indicate a mechanical malfunction of the vibrator.

If none of the methods worked, try clearing the keyboard cache:

Settings → Applications → Application Management → [Select Keyboard] → Storage → Clear Cache

In extreme cases, you can reset the keyboard settings to factory ones, but note that this will remove all saved words and auto-replace settings.

💡

If the keyboard vibration turns off but periodically turns on on itself, check if Game Turbo is activated, which can override system settings to improve the gaming experience.
