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

Vibration of the keyboard on Xiaomi smartphones can be useful for tactile feedback, but it interferes with many users – distracts from typing, drains the battery and even causes discomfort during prolonged use. Especially relevant problem for owners of devices with strong haptic returns (for example, Redmi Note 12 Pro + or Xiaomi 13 Ultra), where the vibration is felt too intensely.

In this article, you will find 5 proven ways to turn off vibration when typing, from standard MIUI settings to hidden developer settings. We will also look at why vibrations can spontaneously turn on after updates and how to prevent it.

2. Press the gear icon (⚙️) in the top panel of the keyboard to open the settings.
3. Go to the section Settings of the keyboard → Tactile feedback.
4. Move the slider Vibration when pressed to the off position..
