Vibrating the keyboard on the Xiaomi Redmi 10S can be useful for haptic feedback, but it can interfere with many users: distracting from typing, draining the battery and creating unnecessary noise. This is especially noticeable when using instant messengers or games, where each button is pressed with a short vibrational effect. Fortunately, you can turn it off in a few steps, both through standard MIUI settings and using alternative keyboards.
In this article, weโll look at all the possible methods for deactivating the vibration response, including hidden system options and nuances for different versions of the firmware. Youโll learn how to turn off vibration not only for the standard MIUI keyboard, but also for Gboard (Google Keyboard), and what to do if the settings suddenly reset after the update.
1. disable the vibration response in the MIUI settings
The most obvious and quick way is to take advantage of the built-in MIUI options. On Redmi 10S, the path to vibration settings may vary slightly depending on the firmware version, but the general logic holds. Importantly, if you use a third-party keyboard (like Gboard), this method may not work โ you will have to configure it separately (more on this below).
To turn off the vibratory response:
- Open the Settings app (the gear icon on the home screen).
- Go to the section Sound and vibration.
- Scroll down to the Vibration block when pressed.
- Turn off the slider next to the Vibration item when typing.
If your MIUI version doesnโt have a separate keyboard item, try an alternative path:
- ๐ฑ Settings โ Additionally. โ Special facilities โ Vibration.
- ๐ There may be an option Tactile feedback - turn it off.
โ ๏ธ Note: Some of the Redmi firmware 10S post-update MIUI 13/14 Keyboard vibration settings can be hidden in the language and input section. If you don't find an option, read the next section.
2. Vibration setting in Gboard (Google Keyboard)
If you prefer Gboard over a standard MIUI keyboard, the vibratory response is customized separately, a method that is relevant for 90% of users, as the Google Keyboard is installed by default on many Xiaomi devices or downloaded manually from the Play Market.
Instructions for unsetting:
- Open any field to enter text (for example, in WhatsApp or Notepad).
- Press the badge. โ๏ธ (gear) in the top panel of the keyboard to open the settings of Gboard.
- Select the Settings item โ Pressed sound.
- Turn off the Vibration slider when you press the keys.
If the badge โ๏ธ No, the alternative way:
- ๐ฒ Go to Settings. โ System system โ Language and input โ Virtual keyboard.
- ๐๏ธ Choose Gboard. โ Settings โ Sound and vibration.
Make sure the keyboard is active (the icon in the input bar)
Check out the Gboard version in the Play Market (update if needed)
Close all applications before changing settings
Reboot your phone if the vibration is not lost.-->
Important: In some versions of Gboard, the vibration option may be called Tactile Feedback or Haptic feedback (if the interface language is English).If the vibration remains after the switch is turned off, try clearing the keyboard cache in the app settings.
Hidden MIUI settings: Disconnection through the "Laboratory"
MIUI firmware has a hidden Lab section where you can fine-tune the behavior of the system, including the vibration response, which is suitable for advanced users, as it requires activation of the developer mode.
How to get to the laboratory:
- Activate Developer Mode: Go to Settings โ About Phone. Press 7 times in a row on MIUI Version. Enter the lock screen password if necessary.

4.Switch off vibration for all system events
If the keyboard vibrator doesn't turn off separately, you can shut down all tactile feedback in the system, which is radical, but it's guaranteed to work, and minus, you lose vibration when you press interface buttons, notifications, and other events.
How to turn off completely:
- ๐ต Go to Settings. โ Sound and vibration โ Vibration.
- ๐ Turn off sliders: Vibration when pressed Vibration when notified Vibration when ringing
- ๐ Restart your phone to apply changes.
| Setting up | What's off? | Impact on the keyboard |
|---|---|---|
| Press vibration | Tactile feedback when touching the screen | Turns off the keyboard vibration. |
| Vibration on notifications | Vibration on SMS, push-messages | It doesn't. |
| Vibration on the bell | Vibration during incoming call | It doesn't. |
| Adaptive vibration | Automatic adjustment of vibration force | It may weaken, but it will not completely shut down. |
If the keyboard continues to vibrate after all vibrations are turned off, the problem may be in a third-party application (such as a launcher or MIUI theme).
5. Resetting keyboard settings to factory
Sometimes the vibrating response doesn't turn off because of a keyboard failure, and then the factory reset will help, and it's safe and doesn't affect other data on the phone.
How to reset your settings:
- Open Settings โ Applications โ Application Management.
- Find the keyboard: For standard: MIUI keyboard or Input Method. For Gboard: Google Keyboard.

After resetting, all personal settings (languages, themes, dictionaries) will be deleted, you will have to reconfigure the keyboard, but the vibration response should disappear, and if the problem persists, check if the keyboard conflicts with other applications (for example, gesture managers or battery optimizers).
6. Alternative keyboards without vibration

7. Problems after MIUI update: what to do?
Many Redmi 10S users find that when they update the firmware, the vibrations are reset, and this is due to MIUI, where some of the parameters are tied to the system version.
