Modern Xiaomi and Redmi smartphones are equipped with advanced tactile engines designed to improve the gaming experience, but not all gamers like constant recoil every shot or touch of the interface. Excessive vibration not only distracts from the process, but can significantly accelerate battery discharge, which is critical during long sessions. Many users face a situation where standard sound settings do not give full control over the tactile response in specific applications.
The solution requires a comprehensive approach, because the MIUI shell or its latest version of HyperOS has several levels of tactile feedback control. In this article, we will discuss in detail all the methods available, from system settings to specialized game profiles, you will learn to adjust the device to react exactly as you want, without shaking too much.
System settings of tactile response
The first step to full vibration control is to go to basic operating system settings. In Xiaomi smartphones, this section is often hidden in the Sound and Vibration menu, where you can adjust the intensity of the system response. It is important to understand that a global shutdown can affect the keyboard and typing, so you should act carefully.
To start, you need to go to the main settings menu and find the audio section, and there's usually a "Vibration on touch" slider that activates the tactile response of the interface, and turning off this feature will make navigation on the menu silent and deprive the device of vibration when you enter text, unless the keyboard settings are set differently.
⚠️ Warning: Completely disabling system vibration may cause you to stop feeling confirmed to enter the unlock password or press the call buttons.
Some firmware versions offer a more subtle setup that allows you to adjust the vibration force separately for calls, notifications and systems. If your goal is to remove the shaking only in games, but leave it for calls, use these differentiated settings to keep the functionality of the device in everyday use.
Use of the Game Turbo accelerator
One of the key features of Xiaomi smartphones is the presence of a built-in gaming optimizer known as Game Turbo or Game Accelerator.This tool not only improves performance, but also allows you to create customized profiles for each installed application, including tactile return management.
To access these settings, you need to run the Security app or find the Game Turbo icon on your desktop. Inside the accelerator interface, you can select a particular game from a list and go to its advanced settings, often hiding switches that block unnecessary notifications and, in some versions, shells that regulate the intensity of vibration.
☑️ Setting up the Game Turbo
It’s worth noting that Game Turbo features are constantly updated. Newer versions of HyperOS have additional responsive sliders that may not be available in older versions of MIUI. If you don’t find the right switch, try updating the game accelerator components through the built-in GetApps app store.

Settings inside gaming applications
Keep in mind that game developers often have their own tactile response controls in place. In modern shooters, racing and RPGs, the vibration settings can be in the Audio, Sound or Gameplay section, which is the most appropriate way to shut down, since it doesn't affect the rest of the system.
When you start a game like PUBG Mobile or Call of Duty Mobile, go to the settings menu (usually indicated by a gear). Find the tab responsible for the sound and carefully examine the options available. Often there is a separate checkbox called Vibration or Haptic Feedback, which you can deaktivirovat (disable) without losing the audio.
If the game doesn’t have a separate switch, try to keep the overall volume down to a minimum, although it will also affect the sound effects, and in some cases, switching the sound profile in the game to No Sound helps, which automatically turns off the vibration if it is tied to audio triggers.
| Type of game | Location of settings | Option name | Impact on the battery |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shooters (PUBG, COD) | Settings -> Sound | Vibration / Haptics | High. |
| Racing (Asphalt) | Settings -> Gameplay | Impact on collision | Average. |
| RPG (Genshin Impact) | Settings -> Audio | Tactical response | Average. |
| Arcades | Main menu | On/off sound | Low. |
Specificity of the keyboard in games
Users often confuse the vibration of gameplay with the vibration of the virtual keyboard that occurs when typing in a chat. The Gboard keyboard or the standard MIUI Keyboard have their own settings, independent of the game. To remove this annoying factor, you need to go to the settings of the keyboard application itself.
While in the game, call the keyboard and tap the gear icon or go to Settings -> System -> Language and input. Here, select the active keyboard and find the Preferences or Sound and Vibration section. By disabling the Vibration-On-Push slider, you will get rid of tactile response when you print messages.
⚠️ Warning: Keyboard changes will be applied globally across all apps, not just games. Be prepared for the quieter typing in instant messengers.
For advanced users, the Game mode is available in some keyboard themes, which can automatically change the input behavior, and it is also worth checking whether vibration is included in the themes, since some custom themes can override the system settings of tactile response.
💡
Use the Game Keyboard Plus or similar apps from the Play Market that allow you to create macros and completely disable vibrations only for specific game profiles.
The Do Not Disturb Mode and Its Impact
Do Not Disturb (DND) mode on Xiaomi smartphones is a powerful tool that can block not only calls, but also tactile signals. Activating this mode before launching the game ensures that no external factors will distract you and system vibration will be suppressed.
You can turn this mode on through the notification curtain or in the audio settings. However, it is important to set the exceptions correctly so that you do not miss a really important call. In the advanced Do Not Disturb mode settings, you can set a schedule or activate by time, which is convenient for regular gaming sessions.
Note that in some versions of MIUI, DND mode activation can completely silence the media sound, so check the audio settings after you turn on. It is best to use automation: set the phone so that the mode is turned on automatically when you start a particular application.
Additional Methods and Engineering Menu
For those who are not afraid to experiment, there is an access to the engineering menu, where you can adjust the parameters of the vibrator at a deeper level, and login to this menu is through a set of special code in the Phone application, but the functionality can vary depending on the processor (Snapdragon or MediaTek).
##6484## or #4636###You can find a section that's connected to Vibration or Feedback in the menu that opens, and you can calibrate it or temporarily turn off the motor, and be careful, because the wrong changes in the engineering menu can cause the device to work in an unstable way, so remember the original values.
💡
Using an engineering menu is an advanced method that allows vibration to be turned off at the hardware level, but requires caution and an understanding of the risks.
If standard methods don’t work, you can use third-party vibration control apps from Google Play, and programs like Vibration Controller allow you to create vibration force profiles for different applications, forcing you to set a “0” value for selected games.
