How to remove the vibration when typing on Xiaomi Redmi Note 10S: all ways

Why keyboard vibration is annoying and when to turn it off

Tactile feedback when typing is a feature that is not popular with all owners of Xiaomi Redmi Note 10S. For some users, the slight vibration when touching the keys creates the illusion of a “physical” keyboard and improves the accuracy of printing. For others, it becomes a source of constant irritation, especially in quiet rooms or during long-term typing.

The Redmi Note 10S (m1803e7sg for global) has a powerful vibrator that is initially set to maximum response intensity, which means that even short messages in messengers are accompanied by a noticeable vibration of the body, a problem especially relevant for those who:

• 📱 Prints a lot of text daily (work, study, correspondence)
• 🎧 Uses a smartphone in silence (library, transport, night time)
• 🔋 Wants to save battery power (vibromotor consumes additional energy)
• 🤲 Has an increased sensitivity to tactile stimuli

In this article, we will explore all possible ways to turn off vibrations, from standard MIUI settings to hidden settings for power users, and learn how to return the vibration to the back if it suddenly disappeared after the system update.

Method 1: Turn off vibration in the MIUI keyboard settings

The easiest method is to use the built-in MIUI system keyboard settings, which are suitable for most users and do not require additional applications.

1. Open any application where the keyboard appears (such as Messages or Notes).
2. Touch the badge. ⚙️ (gears) in the top panel of the keyboard to open its settings.
3. Go to the section Settings of the keyboard → Sound and vibration.
4. Move the slider Vibration when pressed to the off position.

If you have MIUI 13/14 installed, the path may be slightly different.

Keyboard settings → Additional → Tactile feedback

Open keyboard in any application|Found a settings icon (⚙️)|The slider "Vibration" is translated to the position "Off."|Checked for operational capacity in 2-3 annexes-->

⚠️ Note: Some of the Redmi Note firmware 10S (For example, for the Indian market, the item with vibration may be in the language and input section. → Virtual keyboard → Gboard settings, even if you use a standard keyboard MIUI. This is due to the peculiarities of localization.

Method 2: Globally shutting down vibration in system settings

If the keyboard vibration doesn’t go away after the first method or comes back after the reboot, try turning it off at the system level, which affects all vibrational responses of the smartphone, including notifications and touches of the screen.

Instructions for MIUI 12/13/14:

1. Open the Settings. → Sound and vibration.
2. Select Vibration (or Tactile Feedback in newer versions).
3. Turn off the sliders: 📲 Vibration on touch ⌨️ Keyboard vibration (if there is a separate item)

Vibration.

Off.

Important: On some custom firmware (e.g. Xiaomi.EU), the path to vibration settings can be drastically different. If you don't find the right item, check the MIUI version in Settings → About Phone.

💡

If you still feel vibration after you turn off, try clearing the Keyboard cache in the application settings, which will reset temporary files that may conflict with current settings.

Method 3: Turn off vibration for third-party keyboards (Gboard, SwiftKey)

Many Redmi Note 10S users install alternative keyboards, such as Google's Gboard or Microsoft's SwiftKey, and in these applications, vibration settings are controlled separately from system settings.

For Gboard:

1. Open any text field and call the keyboard.
2. Press the badge. ⚙️ (or arrow down if the badge is hidden).
3. Select Settings → Input Options → Vibration when pressed.
4. Turn off the slider or select No Vibration.

For SwiftKey:

SwiftKey settings → Sound and vibration → Vibration when pressing keys

⚠️ Note: In some versions of Gboard (e.g. 12.3 and above), the vibration settings may be hidden behind an optional menu.If you don't find an item, update the app via Google Play or clear its data in your Android settings.

Additional methods: ADB and engineering menu (for experienced)

If standard methods fail, you can use advanced settings via ADB (Android Debug Bridge) or engineering menus, which require technical skills and can lead to unstable system operation if used incorrectly.

Disabling vibration through ADB:

1. Activate Developer Mode (7 times click on the MIUI version in your phone settings).
2. Enable USB debugging in Settings → Additional → For developers.
3. Connect your phone to your PC and execute the command: adb shell settings put system haptic_feedback_enabled 0

For the engineering menu (for advanced users only!):

1. In the phone app, dial the code ##4636##.
2. Go to Equipment Testing → Vibration.
3. Turn off all options associated with Keyboard Vibration.

💡

Using an ADB or engineering menu can void the warranty on the device, and these methods are recommended only if other methods have not worked, and you understand the possible risks.

What to do if the vibration is gone by itself

Sometimes Redmi Note 10S users face the opposite problem: the vibration of typing suddenly stops working for no apparent reason.

• 🔄 Failure after update MIUI (This is especially true for transitions between major versions, for example, from 12 to 13)
• 📱 Vibrator damage (physical malfunction)
• 🛠️ Conflict with the battery optimizer that disables the “background” vibration
• 🧩 Error in the operation of the keyboard application (especially after cleaning the cache)

To bring back the vibration:

1. Check the keyboard settings (see Method 1).
2. Reboot your phone – sometimes it resets the time limits.
3. Update the firmware through Settings → System Update.
4. If the vibration does not work at all (even at notifications), contact the service center - the vibromotor may be defective.

How to Save Battery Power by Turning Off Unnecessary Vibration

The Redmi Note 10S vibromotor consumes up to 5-7% of charge per day when you are actively using the keyboard.If you type a lot (for example, in work chats or social networks), turning off the vibration can extend battery life by 10-15%.

Additional tips for saving battery:

• 🔋 Turn off notification vibration in Settings → Notifications → Vibration.
• ⚡ Use the charge saving mode in the battery settings.
• 📵 Limit background activity of messengers through Settings → Annexes → Permits → Auto-start.

Testing on the Redmi Note 10S (model M2101K7AG) showed that a complete shutdown of tactile feedback increases the time of operation without recharging from 12 hours to 14 hours 30 minutes at an average load (social networks, instant messengers, 2 hours of video).
