How to Remove Vibration When Printing on Xiaomi: All Ways to Use MIUI

The keyboard vibrating on Xiaomi smartphones is not something everyone likes. For some users, tactile recoil when typing creates a pleasant “response” feeling, while for others it becomes a source of irritation: distracting from thoughts, slowing down the speed of printing or simply disturbing in quiet rooms. Fortunately, the manufacturer has provided several ways to turn off this option, both through standard MIUI settings and using third-party tools.

In this article, we will discuss all the current methods of removing vibration when printing, including hidden settings for different versions of firmware (MIUI 14/15) and models (Redmi Note 12, POCO X5, Xiaomi 13T, etc.). We will pay special attention to the nuances: why vibration can return after an update, how to turn it off for specific applications (for example, WhatsApp or Telegram), and what to do if standard methods do not work.

Why the vibration of the keyboard can interfere

Tactile typing was originally intended as a tool to improve user experience, but in practice, it often brings more inconvenience:

• 🔋 Battery consumption: constant vibration (albeit weak) increases power consumption by 2–5% per day, which is critical for devices with a small battery (for example, Xiaomi 12 Lite).
• 🎯 Printing errors: For some users, vibrations cause random presses on adjacent keys, especially on high-sensitivity screens.
• 🔇 Noise in public: Even a quiet vibration can be heard in the library, at a meeting or in the transport.
• 🧠 Distraction: Psychological studies show that tactile stimuli reduce concentration during prolonged typing.

In addition, on some models (POCO F4, Redmi K50) the keyboard vibration conflicts with Game Turbo or Read Mode functions, causing input delays. If you encounter similar problems, turning off the vibration can be an easy solution.

Method 1: Disconnect via Gboard keyboard settings

Most Xiaomi smartphones use Google’s Gboard keyboard by default to remove the vibration in it:

1. Open any application to enter text (such as Messages or Notes).
2. Touch the gear badge (⚙️) In the top panel of the keyboard to go to its settings.
3. Select the Settings item → Pressed sound.
4. Turn off the Vibration slider when pressed.

If there is no gear icon, an alternative path is: Phone Settings → System → Language and input → Virtual Keyboard → Gboard → Settings → Sound when pressed.

Reboot the keyboard (close all applications)

Try to print the text in another messenger

Make sure that there are no duplicate options in the settings (e.g., “Tactile Response”)

⚠️ Attention: On some firmware MIUI (for example, MIUI 13.0.6 for Redmi Note 10 Pro) Vibration option may be hidden in the Additional settings section → Tactile feedback. If you don't find an item in the standard menu, search by settings (the magnifying glass icon at the top of the screen).

Method 2: Setup of the Xiaomi system keyboard (Mi Keyboard)

If you use the standard Mi Keyboard (set by default on some models, such as the Xiaomi 11T or POCO M4 Pro), the algorithm will be different:

1. Go to Settings → System → Language and input.
2. Select the Current Keyboard → Mi Keyboard.
3. Open the keyboard settings → Sound and vibration.
4. Turn off the Vibration option when pressed.

In some versions of MIUI (e.g. MIUI 14.0.3), this item may be called Haptic feedback or Tactile response. If the option is not available, your model does not support software disabling it (see alternative methods).

Method 3: Disconnect through the developer settings

If standard methods fail, you can use hidden Developer Mode options, which are universal for all versions of MIUI, but require prior activation:

1. Activate Developer Mode: Go to Settings → About Phone and click on MIUI Version 7 times.
2. Return to the main settings menu and open Additional settings → For developers.
3. Find the option to turn off vibration when pressed (or Haptic feedback) and deactivate it.

On some devices (e.g. Redmi) K40) This parameter only affects the system buttons, not the keyboard. ADB-Teams (see next section).

Method 4: ADB-commando

For advanced users who do not have the vibration switched off by standard methods, the solution will be suitable through Android Debug Bridge (ADB), which works on 90% of Xiaomi devices, but requires a connection to a computer.

Instructions:

1. Install. ADB-PC drivers.
2. Enable USB debugging in the developer settings (see previous section).
3. Connect the smartphone to the computer and enter in the command line:

adb shell settings put system haptic_feedback_enabled 0

To turn off vibrations specifically in the keyboard, use:

adb shell settings put secure vibrate_on 0

After you execute the commands, restart the device. If the vibration returns, check if the settings are reset after the MIUI update (this is a known bug in the MIUI firmware 13.0.1-13.0.4).

💡

Before using ADB, back up your settings through Settings → Additional → Backup. This will help you quickly restore settings if something goes wrong.

Method 5: Third-party keyboards without vibration

If none of these methods worked, consider installing an alternative keyboard, and some apps don’t support vibration or allow you to adjust it flexibly:

• 📱 SwiftKey: There is a separate switch for vibration (Sound and vibration) in the settings → Press vibration).
• ⚡ Fleksy: keyboard with minimalist design and complete lack of tactile feedback.
• 🎨 Chroom: Supports vibration customization (force and duration can be adjusted).
• 🔒 AnySoftKeyboard: open source, without unnecessary default effects.

To install a third-party keyboard:

1. Download the app from the Play Market.
2. Go to Settings → System → Language and input → Virtual keyboard.
3. Activate the new keyboard and set it by default.

⚠️ Note: When using third-party keyboards, be careful with permissions. Some applications (such as AI.type) collect typing data.

What to do if the vibration returns after the update

Many Xiaomi users are faced with a problem: after updating MIUI, the vibration of the keyboard turns on again, this is due to the fact that the system resets some settings to factory.

• 🔄 Automatic Recovery: Use apps like MacroDroid or Tasker to create a rule that will turn off vibrations after each reboot.
• 📥 Reverse update: if the problem appeared after the update MIUI, You can return the previous version of the firmware through Settings → Updating the system → Three points. → Select a Service Package.
• 🛠️ Manual reset: After each update, check the keyboard settings and developer settings.

On the Xiaomi Community forums, users note that the problem is more common on devices with MIUI Global Stable. If you are ready for experiments, you can switch to MIUI EU (European firmware), where such bugs are fixed faster.

💡

If the vibration returns after each update, the most reliable way to do this is to use the vibration. ADB-This parameter is less likely to be reset by the system.
