Vibrating the keyboard on the Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro can be a useful feature for haptic feedback, but it interferes with many users, distracting them from the set, draining the battery and creating unnecessary noise. This is especially noticeable when you chat long or work with documents. Fortunately, you can turn it off in a few steps, not only in the standard MIUI keyboard, but also in popular alternatives like G or SwiftKeyboard.
In this article, we will look at all possible ways, from basic settings to hidden developer settings, how to remove the vibration completely or adjust its intensity, and what to do if the Suddenly option disappeared after the MIUI update. Importantly, some methods require root or additional applications, but most solutions are available without them.
If you find that the vibration turns on on itself after a reboot or reset, there is a section at the end of this article with solutions to this problem. And for those who like to experiment, we added a bonus โ how to make the vibration selective only for certain applications (for example, leave it in messengers, but remove it in the browser).
1. Standard method: through the settings of the MIUI keyboard
The easiest method is to turn off vibration directly in the settings of the standard Xiaomi keyboard. It works on all versions of MIUI 12/13/14 and does not require additional knowledge.
Open any application where the keyboard appears (such as Messages or Notes). โ๏ธ Settings on the keyboard bar (usually located in the upper right corner). If the icon is not, hold the comma (,) or space in some versions. MIUI menu hidden behind a long tap.
In the window that opens, select Keyboard Settings โ Sound and Vibration. Here you will see two sliders:
- ๐ Pressed sound โ responsible for sound signals;
- ๐ณ Vibration when pressed - this is the parameter you need to turn off.
Translate the slider Vibration when you press to off. Ready! Vibration should disappear immediately after you leave the menu. If there is no change, restart your smartphone - sometimes the settings are applied only after the reboot.

2. disable vibration for third-party keyboards (Gboard, SwiftKey)
If you use an alternative keyboard, like Google's Gboard or Microsoft's SwiftKey, the vibration settings are in their own menus. Consider the process with Gboard, the most popular Android keyboard.
Open Phone Settings โ Apps โ App Management. Search in the Gboard list and tap it. Select App Settings (or Open by default if you use another version of MIUI). From the Gboard menu, go to Settings โ Sound and Vibration.
Here you will see three options:
- ๐ Sound when pressed - turns off the sounds;
- ๐ค Vibration when pressed - the main parameter;
- ๐๏ธ Vibration intensity โ regulates the force of recoil (useful if you want to weaken, but not completely remove).
Turn off Vibration when you press it and check the result. SwiftKey is similar to: Settings โ Sounds and vibrations โ Key Vibration. If the vibration is left after you turn off, clear the keyboard cache in the app settings.

3. Hidden settings: Disconnect via the developer menu
In some cases, the vibration of the keyboard may be tied to the Haptic Feedback system settings. If standard methods don't work, try turning it off globally through Developer Settings.
First, activate the developer menu: go to Settings โ About Phone โ MIUI version and tap it 7 times in a row. You will see a notification You became a developer!. Return to the main settings menu - there will be a new item Additional โ For developers.
In the developer menu, find the Input or Tactile Feedback section (the title may vary depending on the version of MIUI).
- ๐ ๏ธ Vibration upon pressing (if any);
- ๐ฑ Haptic feedback (tactile feedback);
- โก Vibration in interaction โ affects system buttons.
โ ๏ธ Warning: Disabling Haptic feedback will block vibration in all system elements, including notifications and the Back button. If it is critical, return the setting to its original state.
After the changes, restart the Poco X3 Pro. If the keyboard vibration is gone, but you want to return the tactile recoil for other actions (for example, when unlocking), turn on Haptic feedback back, but leave the Vibration off when pressed.
4. Radical method: Disabling vibration through ADB
If none of the previous methods worked, you can use them. ADB-This method requires you to connect your smartphone to your computer, but it's guaranteed to shut down the vibration at the system level:
- ๐ป Computer with Windows/macOS/Linux;
- ๐ USB-cable (preferably original);
- ๐ฆ Installed drivers Xiaomi and ADB Tools.
Download Platform Tools from the official Android Developers website and unpack the archive. Connect Poco X3 Pro to your PC, enable USB Debugging in the developer menu (see previous section) and confirm trust in your computer on your smartphone screen.
Open the command prompt (cmd in Windows or Terminal in macOS/Linux) and go to the folder with Platform Tools. Enter the commands in turn:
adb shell settings put system haptic_feedback_enabled 0
adb shell settings put system vibration_intensity 0The first command turns off the haptic feedback completely, the second command resets the vibration intensity. If you only want to turn off the keyboard, use:
adb shell settings put secure keyboard_vibration_on 0โ ๏ธ Attention: Misuse of the right ADB This can cause system failures. Before executing commands, back up your data through Settings. โ Additionally. โ Backup.
Once you've done the commands, restart the phone. The vibration should disappear. To get it back, replace it with 0 by 1.
What if the ADB does not recognize the device?
5.Problems and Solutions: Vibration Returns After Update
Many Poco X3 Pro users are faced with the vibration settings being reset after the MIUI update, which is due to Xiaomiโs policy of returning some settings to default values.
If the vibration appears after the update, first check the version of MIUI in Settings โ About Phone. Some builds (for example, MIUI 13.0.4 for Poco X3 Pro) have bugs with saving keyboard settings.
- ๐ Reverse the update (if it has been recently installed) through Settings โ Annexes โ Application management โ Updating the system โ Remove updates;
- ๐ฒ Reset the keyboard settings: go to Settings โ Annexes โ Application management โ Keyboard, press Warehouse. โ Clear the data;
- ๐ง Use AutoInput (automation application) to force the vibration to be turned off when the keyboard is started.
If the problem repeats after each update, consider installing custom firmware (e.g. Pixel Experience or LineageOS) where no such bugs exist, but this requires unlocking the bootloader and may be unwarranted.
| MIUI version | Typical problem | Decision |
|---|---|---|
| MIUI 12.5 | The vibration is activated after the reboot | Disable from the developer menu Automatic Restore settings |
| MIUI 13.0.2-13.0.4 | Keyboard settings reset after update | Clear the Settings app cache (com.android.settings) |
| MIUI 14 (Global) | No option to turn off vibration in Gboard | Update Gboard to the latest version or use ADB |
6.Selective vibration shutdown for individual applications
If you want to leave a vibration in some applications (for example, WhatsApp or Telegram), but remove it in the browser or games, you can use the MacroDroid or Tasker application.
Install MacroDroid and give it all the permissions you need (including Special Features and Overlays on top of other apps). Create a new macro command with the Start-up trigger, and select those programs where the vibration needs to be turned off (e.g., Chrome or Google Docs).
Add the action Run the shell command and type:
settings put system haptic_feedback_enabled 0Then add the second action 1 second delay and the third action Return settings (if you need to restore vibration when you leave the application):
settings put system haptic_feedback_enabled 1Save the macro and test it. Now the vibration will turn off automatically when you open the selected applications, and you can also set the back on for messengers.
๐ก
If MacroDroid is not working, check if Battery Optimization for the application is enabled in Settings โ Battery โ Battery Optimization. Turn off MacroDroid optimization so that macros run stably.
7. Hardware causes: when the vibration does not turn off
If none of the software methods worked, the problem could be in the hardware. On the Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro, a small vibration motor is responsible for the vibration, which sometimes fails or malfunctions.
- ๐ Vibration works even when the phone is turned off (when charging);
- ๐ The engine is buzzing constantly, without stopping;
- ๐ฅ Vibration gets weaker or stronger without changes in settings.
In such cases, only a replacement of the vibrator will help. The cost of repairs in the Xiaomi service center is about 800-1500. โฝ (If the phone is warranty, don't try to fix it yourself, it will void warranty obligations.
Before visiting the service, check whether moisture has fallen under the body (corrosion spots on the charging connector or under the lid). SIM-If so, repairs may be more expensive due to the need to clean the board.
โ ๏ธ Note: Donโt try to disassemble Poco X3 Pro itself โ the model has a fragile battery plume and a complex system of attachment of the vibrator motor.
