Keyboard vibrating on the Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 can be useful for haptic feedback, but it interferes with many users — especially when typing fast or in a quiet environment. Fortunately, the manufacturer has provided several ways to disable this feature both in system settings and through third-party applications. In this article, we will discuss all the current methods for different versions of MIUI firmware (from 10 to 14) and keyboard types, including the standard Xiaomi Keyboard and Google Gboard.

Note that on the Redmi Note 7, keyboard vibration can work differently depending on the firmware installed. For example, in global versions of MIUI, the path to settings is often different from Chinese builds. It is also important to consider that some methods require administrator or developer mode rights, we will specify these cases separately.

If you find that the vibrating response does not turn off through the standard menu, do not rush to reset the phone settings. Perhaps the problem lies in the conflict of applications or an outdated version of the keyboard. At the end of the article you will find FAQs with answers to typical questions, as well as alternative solutions for rare cases.

1. disable the vibration response in the settings of the standard Xiaomi keyboard

In the window that opens, select Keyboard Settings (or Additional Settings in some versions). Next, go to Vibration when pressed (may be called Tactile Response or Key Responsiveness). Move the slider to Off or uncheck.

If there is no vibrating item, then your version of the keyboard does not directly support this function, in which case you can try updating the app via Google Play or use alternative methods from the following sections.

⚠️ Note: Some Redmi Note 7 firmware (especially Chinese) may have hidden keyboard settings. To unlock them, go to Settings → All parameters. → Language and input → Current keyboard → Settings.

2. How to turn off vibration in Gboard (Google keyboard)

Next, open any text field and tap the icon. ⚙️ Go to Preferences (or Input Settings) in the settings menu. Find Vibration when pressed and move the slider to Off. In some versions of Gboard, this option may be in the Sound submenu when pressed.

If you don't have an option, update Gboard via Google Play, and check if third-party software (such as MIUI Security or Battery Optimizer) blocks access to settings.

• 🔄 Update Gboard: Go to Google Play → My apps. → Gboard → Update.
• 📱 Reset: In Gboard settings, select Reset (last item).
• 🔧 Check Permissions: Make sure the application has access to Vibration in Settings → Annexes → Gboard → Permits.

If the vibration in Gboard is turned off but switched on again after rebooting, clear the app's cache in Settings → Apps → Gboard → Memory → Clear the cache.

3. Disconnect vibration through the settings of the MIUI system

In some versions of the MIUI, the keyboard's vibration response is tied to the phone's general vibration settings, which means you can turn it off globally, along with other tactile signals.

Settings → Sound and vibration → Vibration → Vibration when touched

Turn off the Vibration slider when you touch it. Note that this will also block the vibration when you press system buttons (for example, in the notification menu or in the navigation bar). If you need selective settings, this method will not work.

On MIUI 12+ firmware, the path may differ:

Settings → Display → Vibration and tactile response → Vibration when pressed

⚠️ Note: Some custom firmware (e.g. Xiaomi.EU) may not have a path to vibration settings, in which case use Settings Search (the magnifier icon in the upper right corner of Settings) and enter the request "vibration".

4.Use of the Developer Mode to Turn Off Vibration

1. Go to Settings. → The phone.
2. Find the MIUI version and click on it 7 times in a row.
3. Enter the unlock password if necessary.

• Turn off vibration when touching (if any)
• Debugging → Vibration when pressed
• Animation → Tactical response

Use of the ADB-This method requires connecting your phone to your computer and knowing the basics of working with Android Debug Bridge:
