The Xiaomi Redmi Note 10S is one of the most popular mid-range smartphones, but its keyboard vibrancy can be annoying, especially when typing is long: constant microvibration not only distracts, but also consumes battery power, and in some cases even causes discomfort in the fingers. Fortunately, you can turn off this feature in several ways, both through standard MIUI settings, and using alternative keyboards or technical tricks.

In this article, we will discuss all the current methods of turning off vibration, including hidden options of the system, which are not obvious at first glance, you will learn how to completely remove the tactile response or customize it for yourself, and what to do if the standard methods do not work. We will pay special attention to the nuances of the Redmi Note firmware 10S (Rosemary codename, as some of the options may differ from other Xiaomi models.

Why does the keyboard vibrating interfere?

Keystroke vibration was invented to improve tactile feedback, but in practice it often brings more inconvenience than benefit. Here are the main reasons why users want to turn it off:

• 🔋 Increased battery consumption: Vibrator consumes energy even with short presses, which reduces battery life by 5-15% with active use of instant messengers.
• 🎯 Distraction: The constant shaking of the body makes it difficult to concentrate, especially when typing long texts or working in a quiet environment.
• ⚡ Delays in input: on some firmware, vibration creates a lag between pressing and the appearance of the symbol on the screen (relevant to the user). MIUI 12.5–14).
• 🤲 Finger discomfort: users with sensitive skin may experience prolonged vibrations that cause numbness or tingling.

Interestingly, the Redmi Note 10S uses a vibrator not only for the keyboard, but also for notifications, game effects, and even when unlocking the screen. By turning off the keyboard vibrator, you don't affect these features — they are controlled separately.

Method 2: Using the Gboard keyboard (Google)

If the standard MIUI keyboard doesn’t disable vibration or you prefer Google’s Gboard, follow this instruction.Gboard offers more flexible settings and often runs more stable on the Redmi Note 10S.

First, install Gboard if it is not already installed: Google Play → Search “Gboard” → Install.

Method 3: Turn off vibration through system settings (for all keyboards)

Method 4: Disabling vibration through ADB (for power users)

If the standard methods do not work, you can use them. ADB-Android Debug Bridge, which requires you to connect your smartphone to your computer, but it's 100 percent effective:

• 🔧 Vibration does not turn off in the settings
• 📱 You have custom firmware.
• 🔒 Manufacturer has blocked the change of parameters

To start, turn on the developer mode and debugging over USB:

1. Go to Settings → About Phone → MIUI version.
2. Click on the MIUI version 7 times in a row until you get a message: You are a developer!
3. Back to Settings → Additionally. → For developers.
4. Turn on USB debugging.

1. Vibration Tuner (free, Google Play) – allows you to adjust the vibration intensity for different events, including the keyboard. 🔹 Supports MIUI 12–14 🔹 Doesn't require root rights 🔹 Can create vibration profiles
2. MacroDroid (free) – Automatically switching off vibration by triggers (for example, when opening the keyboard). 🔹 It works without. ADB 🔹 You can set exceptions for games
3. Shizuku + AppOps (for advanced users) – deep permissions, including vibration. 🔹 Requires settings through ADB 🔹 Allows you to block vibration for individual applications

Before installing third-party apps, check reviews — some utilities may conflict with MIUI or require additional permissions. Also remember that vibration control apps can drain the battery faster because they run in the background.

💡

Third-party apps are a good option if standard methods don’t work, but they can conflict with MIUI updates.

• 🛠️ Use it. ADB-Commands (mode 4) - they are more resistant to resetting.
• 📥 Install custom recovery (for example, TWRP), Blocking updates of individual system components.

If the vibration has returned after the update, check:

1. Have you lost your keyboard settings (Gboard or Mi Keyboard).
2. Is the system vibration included in the Settings → Sound and vibration?
3. Have you seen new options in the developer menu (sometimes after the update, additional vibration options are added there).

On Xiaomi forums, users note that the problem often occurs when switching to MIUI 13→14. If you do not want to put up with constant resets, consider installing custom firmware (for example, Pixel Experience or LineageOS), where the vibration settings are more stable.
