How to turn off the keyboard vibration on Xiaomi Redmi: all ways

Vibration when typing on Xiaomi Redmi can be annoying — especially if you type a lot or use your smartphone in quiet places. Fortunately, you can turn it off in a few seconds, but the methods depend on the version of MIUI, the phone model and even the keyboard installed. In this article, we will analyze all the current methods, from standard system settings to hidden parameters for advanced users.

It is important to understand that the keyboard vibration and system vibration (for example, when notifying) are set separately. We will focus on the tactile return when typing – it is controlled either through the MIUI settings or through the keyboard settings (for example, Gboard or the standard Xiaomi Keyboard).

Let’s get to the point. Below you’ll find ways to do things from quickly turning off menus to manually editing configuration files (for power users), all of which have been tested on the Redmi Note 12 Pro+, POCO X5 Pro and Redmi 10C with MIUI 13/14, but will also work for other models of the brand.

1. Turn off vibration through MIUI settings (the easiest way)

If you use a standard Xiaomi keyboard, you can remove the vibration directly in the system settings. This method works on most Redmi and POCO devices with MIUI 12 and later.

Follow the step-by-step instructions:

1. Open the Settings app (the gear icon on the home screen).
2. Go to the section Sound and vibration.
3. Scroll down and select Vibration when pressed.
4. Turn off the slider next to the keyboard Vibration (or Tactile Feedback when entering new versions of MIUI).

If there is no such item, then your keyboard is managed separately (see the next section).

• 📱 Vibration on touch (older versions) MIUI)
• ⌨️ Keyboard response (on some of the POCO)
• 🔊 Keyboard sounds and vibrations (in MIUI global-firm)

Important! On some models (e.g. Redmi 9A or Redmi 8), this option may be hidden, and if you don't find it, try updating your firmware to the latest version or using alternative methods in the following sections.

2. setting the vibration in the keyboard parameters (Gboard, SwiftKey and others)

If you have installed a third-party keyboard (like Google’s Gboard or Microsoft’s SwiftKey), the vibration is controlled directly in its settings. Consider the process with Gboard, the most popular alternative.

How to turn off vibration in Gboard:

1. Open any field to enter text (for example, in Messages or Notes).
2. Touch the gear badge. ⚙️ on the keyboard to open its settings.
3. Select Settings → Text entry settings.
4. Scroll down and turn off the Vibration slider when you press the keys.

For other keyboards, the algorithm is similar, but the paths may differ:

If after turning off the vibration remained - check if the keyboard conflicts with the system settings MIUI. In this case, resetting the keyboard settings to factory (see section 5).

Hidden MIUI settings: disabling vibration through the engineering menu

On some MIUI firmware (especially Chinese or custom) the standard methods don’t work, so you can use the engineering menu, the hidden settings section where low-level system settings are available.

⚠️ Attention, improper actions in the engineering menu can cause malfunctions in the phone. Follow the instructions carefully and do not change other settings.

How to open the engineering menu and turn off vibration:

1. Open the phone app and enter the combination: ##4636##
2. In the menu that opens, select Hardware Testing (or Hardware Testing).
3. Go to the Vibrator Test (or Vibration Test) section.
4. Press Disable Vibration (or Turn off Vibration)
5. Reboot your phone to make the changes take effect.

If #4636### doesn’t work, try the alternative codes:

• 📞 ##36446337## - Testing equipment on some Redmis
• 🔧 ##2664## - Touchscreen and vibration check
• 🔍 ##0*## - Display test (indirectly can help with vibration)

4. Disable vibration through ADB (for advanced users)

If the standard methods didn't work and the engineering menu wasn't available, you can use ADB, which is a tool for debugging Android devices through a computer, and it's suitable for users who aren't afraid of the command line.

⚠️ Attention! Use! ADB requires the inclusion of debugging USB It can cause system instability if used incorrectly.

Step-by-step:

1. Download and install Platform Tools on your computer.
2. On your phone, turn on USB Debugging: Go to Settings → About Phone. Tap 7 times on MIUI to activate Developer Mode. Go back to Settings → Additional → Developer. Enable USB Debugging.

Xiaomi

Open the command prompt (or Terminal on Mac/Linux) and type:

adb shell settings put system haptic_feedback_enabled 0

This command turns off all haptic feedback in the system, including keyboard vibration. If you only want to turn off the keyboard, use:

adb shell settings put system keyboard_vibration_on 0

To return the vibration, replace the 0 by 1 commands above.

💡

If ADB doesn’t recognize the device, try reinstalling the drivers or using the adb kill-server command, and then adb start-server before reconnecting.

5. Resetting keyboard settings to factory

If the keyboard doesn't go off either way, the problem may be that you're going to have a default setting, and then you're going to have to reset the keyboard to the standard settings, and it doesn't affect the other data on the phone (photos, contacts, etc.), but it's going to bring all the input settings back to the factory settings.

How to reset the keyboard settings:

1. Open Settings → Applications → Application Management.
2. Find your keyboard (such as the Xiaomi Keyboard or Gboard) and select it.
3. Press Warehouse. → Clear the data.
4. Confirm the action and restart the phone.

After discharge:

• 🔄 The vibration will be turned off (if it is a factory state).
• ⚙️ You will have to reconfigure autoreplacement, dictionaries and keyboard themes.
• 📱 If the problem was in the settings conflict, the vibration will disappear.

If the reset didn't help, maybe the vibration is enabled at the app level (like Viber or Instagram).

6.Verification of vibration in specific applications

Some apps (social networks, instant messengers, games) have their own vibration settings that can overlap the system, for example, Telegram or WhatsApp can separately enable tactile feedback when typing.

Where to look for vibration settings in popular apps:

If the app doesn’t have a separate option for vibrating the keyboard, but it still works, try turning off all vibration in its settings. For example, Facebook Messenger sometimes helps to turn off the Vibration option when notifying.

7. Alternative solutions: if nothing helps

If you’ve tried all the ways, but the vibration of typing on Xiaomi Redmi is still active, consider the following options:

• 📲 Install another keyboard: Simple Keyboard or AnySoftKeyboard, for example – they don’t have a built-in default vibration.
• 🔄 Update the firmware: In new versions MIUI Vibration bugs are often fixed. Check the updates in Settings → The phone. → Updating the system.
• 🛠️ Reset all settings: If the problem has occurred after updating or installing apps, resetting to factory settings can help. → Additionally. → Resetting settings.
• 📱 Check the hardware button: On some Redmi models, vibration may be triggered due to the pressed down Volume button (for example, when using a case.

If the vibration only appears in certain applications (such as games or banking programs), it is likely written in their code, in which case you can only ask the developer to add a shutdown option.

💡

On Xiaomi Redmi models with MIUI 14 and later, the keyboard vibration can be tied to system animation. Try turning off Windows animation in Settings → Special features → Delete animations – this sometimes helps.
