How to remove the vibration response on the keyboard Xiaomi Redmi Note 8: all ways

Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 is one of the most popular smartphones of the brand, but its vibrating response when typing can annoy many users, especially when you chat or work with documents, when constant vibration not only distracts, but also discharges the battery faster than usual. In this article, we will discuss all possible ways to turn off the vibration of the keyboard, from standard MIUI settings to hidden settings and third-party solutions.

It is important to understand that on the Redmi Note 8, the vibration response can work differently depending on the keyboard used: the standard Gboard (from Google), the proprietary MIUI Keyboard or alternative options like SwiftKey. We will look at each case separately, and also tell you how to completely turn off the system vibration if the problem lies deeper.

If you've tried to turn off the vibration through obvious settings, but it didn't work, don't rush to drop the phone to factory. Perhaps the solution is hidden in the Developer Settings or requires a little adjustment through ADB. Next are detailed instructions with explanations for each situation.

1. disable the vibration response in the standard MIUI keyboard

The MIUI Keyboard on the Redmi Note 8 has its own vibration settings, which aren't always obvious. To find them, follow these steps:

1. Open any field to enter text (for example, in Messages or Notes).
2. Touch the gear badge (⚙️) on the keyboard to open its settings.
3. Go to the section Additional settings → Vibration when pressed.
4. Move the slider to the off position or uncheck (depending on the version of MIUI).

2. Vibration setting in Gboard (keyboard from Google)

Many Redmi Note 8 users prefer Gboard over a standard keyboard, in which case the algorithm for turning off the vibration response is different:

1. Open Settings → System → Language and input.
2. Find Gboard in the keyboard list and tap it.
3. Go to Settings → Sound when pressed.
4. Turn off the Vibration option when you press the keys.

If the vibration still works after that, check the system sound settings (Section 3). Also make sure that the Gboard is updated to the latest version - in older versions, vibration bugs were more common.

• 🔄 Update Gboard via Google Play if the vibration option doesn’t show up.
• 📱 Restart your phone after changes – sometimes the settings are only applied after a reboot.
• ⚙️ Reset Gboard settings in Settings → Annexes → Gboard → Warehouse → Reset the settings.

On the Redmi Note 8 with MIUI 11 and below firmware, you may need to further disable vibration in Developer Settings (Section 4), even if you are using Gboard.

If the vibration response remains active even after the keyboard settings are turned off, the problem may lie in the system vibration parameters. MIUI There is a separate section for managing tactile feedback:

1. Go to Settings. → Sound and vibration.
2. Select Vibration (or Tactile Feedback in newer versions).
3. Turn off options: Vibration when pressed Vibration when typing

On some firmware, these items may be called differently or combined into one parameter. If you can't see them, then your version of MIUI controls the keyboard vibration through other mechanisms (see section 4).

If the vibration still works after all options are turned off, check if it is enabled in the Special Options Settings (Section 5).It is also worth making sure that the phone does not have third-party vibration control apps (such as MacroDroid or Tasker).

On the Xiaomi Redmi Note 8, some vibration options are hidden in the Developer Settings to activate them:

1. Go to Settings. → The phone.
2. Tap 7 times on the MIUI version until you become a developer!
3. Return to the main Settings menu and open a new section → For developers.

If there are no explicit keyboard settings, but the vibration is still working, try temporarily disabling all special features and check if the problem has disappeared. If so, then the conflict is caused by one of the functions on (for example, increase the sensitivity of the screen).

Xiaomi sometimes adds experimental features to this section that can affect vibration, and if you don't use special features, it's best to keep them offline.
