Keyboard vibrating on the Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 can be useful for haptic feedback, but it interferes with many users β 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 Perhaps the problem lies in the conflict of applications or an outdated version of the keyboard.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

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

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 β Sound and vibration β Vibration β Vibration when touchedTurn 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 β Display β Vibration and tactile response β Vibration when pressed| MIUI version | The path to vibration settings | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| MIUI 10β11 | Settings β Sound and vibration β Vibration | It could be called "Tactile feedback." |
| MIUI 12 | Settings β Display β Vibration and tactile response | There is also a vibrational force setting. |
| MIUI 13β14 | Settings β Sound β Vibration and sounds | The section may be hidden in "Addvanced" |
β οΈ 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".

Use of the ADB-This method requires connecting your phone to your computer and knowing the basics of working with Android Debug Bridge:
- Install ADB on your PC (download from the Android Developers website).
- Connect Redmi Note 7 to USB and allow debugging in the window that appears.

This command will turn off the vibration at the system level. To bring it back, replace 0 with 1. ADB-Teams can disrupt the operation of the phone.
