How to Remove Vibration When Typing on Xiaomi Redmi: The Complete Guide

Vibration when typing on Xiaomi Redmi can be a useful feature for those who are used to tactile feedback. But for many users, it becomes a source of irritation — especially if the smartphone is lying on a desk or used in a quiet room. The constant jitter of the case not only distracts, but also drains the battery faster than you think. Fortunately, you can turn it off in a few seconds — and we will show you how to do this on all versions of MIUI firmware, including the latest updates in 2026.

In this article you will find:

• 🔧 3 Proven Ways to Turn Off Keyboard Vibration (Including Hidden Settings)

Whether you're using a standard MIUI keyboard or third-party apps like Gboard, our instructions cover all cases, and if you encounter a bug where the vibration doesn't go off despite all the effort, there's a solution section at the end of the article.

Why Vibration When Typing Can Be a Problem

At first glance, the light recoil of touching the screen seems harmless, but there are hidden disadvantages to this feature that few people think about:

• 🔋 The vibromotor is one of the most voracious components of a smartphone. XDA Developers, constant vibration when typing can reduce battery life by 5-12% depending on the model.
• 🎯 Distraction: In the office or in a lecture, even a slight vibration creates unnecessary noise, especially if the phone is lying on a hard surface.
• 🛠️ Motion wear: Vibromotors in Redmi budget models (e.g. Redmi) 9A Redmi 8s are not designed to last for years of intensive work, and frequent use speeds up their failure.
• 🤯 Psychological discomfort: Some users have noted that tactile recoil causes irritation during long-term recruitment (for example, when writing messages on Telegram or WhatsApp).

Interestingly, Xiaomi’s MIUI 14 made the default vibration more intense than previous versions, which was a sign of an attempt to improve the user experience, but for many Redmi owners, the change came as a nasty surprise. For example, on the Redmi Note 12 Pro+, the typing vibration became so strong that users compared it to a “mini-earthquake.”

⚠️ Note: If you use a magnetically mounted case (e.g. for wireless charging), vibration may cause false alarms of the Hall sensor, resulting in accidental locking of the screen or activation of the pocket mode".

Method 1: Turn off vibration in the MIUI keyboard settings

The most obvious and quick method is to use the built-in settings of Xiaomi’s standard keyboard, which is suitable for all Redmi models running MIUI 12/13/14, including:

• 📱 Redmi Note 12/11/10 Pro and their modifications
• 📱 Redmi 10/9/8 (including Redmi 9A/9C/9T)
• 📱 POCO X3/X4/X5 (if the keyboard is used MIUI)

Instructions:

Open any typing application (such as Messages or Notes)|Click on the input field to make the keyboard appear|Slap the icon. ⚙️ (gear) in the top row of the keyboard|Select the keyboard settings|Go to the section Sound and vibration|Turn off the switch Vibration when pressed|Close the settings – the changes will apply automatically-->

If you don’t have a gear icon, try holding the comma key (,) or space with your finger – in some versions of MIUI, this opens the settings menu.

⚠️ Note: On some devices, after the keyboard vibration is turned off, it may return after the update. MIUI. This is because the system resets the keyboard settings to the factory keyboard. To avoid this, check the settings again after the update.

Method 2: Turn off vibration for third-party keyboards (Gboard, SwiftKey)

If you prefer alternative keyboards, like Google's Gboard or Microsoft's SwiftKey, the process of turning off vibrations will be different.

Gboard (Google Keyboard)

Instructions:

1. Open any application with text input and call the keyboard.
2. Slip the cog icon (or hold the comma if there is no cog).
3. Select Settings → Basic settings → Vibration when you press the keys.
4. Move the slider to the off position.

In the latest versions of Gboard (2026), developers added a separate vibration regulator, so if you want to not turn it off completely, but just make it less noticeable, move the slider to the left.

Microsoft SwiftKey

Here, the process is a little more complicated:

1. Open SwiftKey Settings (can be accessed through the keyboard icon or from the app menu).
2. Go to Sound and Vibration.
3. Turn off the Vibration option when pressed.
4. Additionally: if the vibration remains, check the tactile feedback settings in the same section.

Important: Some versions of SwiftKey may conflict with MIUI system settings. If the vibration still works after the switch is off, try reinstalling the keyboard or using Method 3 (Global System Vibration Shutdown).

💡

If you’re using Gboard but don’t see the vibration option, upgrade to the latest version on Google Play. In older versions (before 2023), this setting may not have been available.

Method 3: Completely disabling tactile feedback in MIUI

If the vibration when typing does not turn off through the keyboard settings (or returns after rebooting), you can go a radical way — globally disable tactile feedback in the system, this affects not only the keyboard, but also other interface elements (for example, vibration when touching navigation buttons).

Instructions:

1. Open the settings on your Redmi.
2. Go to Sound and Vibration (in some versions of MIUI, this section is called Sound and Vibration).
3. Find tactile feedback or vibration when touching.
4. Turn off all switches in this section.

On MIUI 14, the path may be slightly different:

Settings → Display → Tactile feedback → Vibration when touched

⚠️ Attention: Redmi with MIUI 12 and below, a global vibration shutdown may cause notifications to stop vibrating (e.g., from WhatsApp or WhatsApp) SMS). If this is critical, use Method 1 or 2.

Problems: Vibration doesn’t turn off – what to do?

Sometimes, even after all the manipulations, the vibration of typing continues to work, and this may be due to:

• 🔄 Settings conflict (for example, if vibration is enabled in both the keyboard and system settings).
• 🐞 Firmware bug (often found in beta versions) MIUI).
• 📱 Features of the model (on some Redmi, for example, Redmi) K50i, Vibration is controlled by a separate chip).

Here's what we can do:

1. Reset the keyboard

If you are using Gboard or SwiftKey:

1. Remove the keyboard through Settings → Apps.
2. Reboot the phone.
3. Install the keyboard again from Google Play.
4. Check the vibration settings (they will be dropped to the factory).

2.Reset the keyboard settings

For the standard MIUI keyboard:

1. Go to Settings → Applications → Application Management.
2. Find the MIUI (or Input Method) keyboard.
3. Select Warehouse. → Clear the data.
4. Warning: This will reset all custom dictionaries and settings!

3.Use. ADB-Teams (for advanced users)

If nothing helps, you can force the vibration to be turned off via ADB:

adb shell settings put system haptic_feedback_enabled 0

This command turns off all tactile feedback in the system, and to get it back, replace 0 with 1.

💡

Before using ADB, make sure you have USB debugging enabled (Settings → About Phone → MIUI Version → 7 times tap the build number, then go back to Settings → Additional → For Developers).

Myths and Facts: Is it True That Turning Off Vibration Saves Charge?

One of the most common questions is, "How much do you really save the battery by turning off the vibration?" So let's get through the numbers and the tests.

In 2023, GSMArena tested the Redmi Note 11 Pro+ with the keyboard on and off.

• 📉 When using instant messengers (200 messages per day), the vibration added to the message. ~7% battery consumption in 8 hours.
• 📉 In standby mode, the difference was only 1-2%.
• 🔋 In the models with AMOLED-screens (e.g. Redmi) K50) The savings were more noticeable – up to 10%, as the vibrator motor consumes energy regardless of the type of display.

The bottom line is that if you type a lot, turning off the vibration will give you a noticeable boost in autonomy, and if you use your phone mostly for calls and social media, the effect will be minimal.

Another popular myth is that "Vibration spoils the battery." In fact, the vibrator motor does not directly affect the health of the battery. However, constant discharge (due to increased consumption) can accelerate the degradation of lithium-ion cells, so indirectly this statement is true.
