Vibration of the keyboard on the Xiaomi 10S can be annoying — especially if you are actively typing or using the smartphone in quiet places. Although many like the tactile response, its intensity or the mere fact of its presence often causes discomfort. Fortunately, the manufacturer has provided several ways to disable this feature, and in extreme cases, third-party tools will help.
In this article, we will analyze all current methods - from standard settings MIUI to the hidden parameters of the developer and teams ADB. You will learn how to completely remove the vibration or simply reduce its strength, as well as what to do if the settings are reset after the update. MIUI) and the possible consequences of disabling the tactile response.
Why the vibration of the keyboard can interfere
The tactile response of keystrokes is a function designed to mimic the sensations of a physical keyboard, but in practice it is not always convenient.
- 🔋 Battery consumption: The vibratory motor consumes additional energy, which is especially noticeable in long-term typing.
- 🎵 Noise in quiet places. Even a slight vibration can create a background sound that disturbs others (for example, in a library or in a meeting).
- ⚡ Delays in input, some firmware MIUI vibration can cause microlags when rapidly recruited.
- 🤏 Holding discomfort: The constant shaking of the body tires your hands, especially if your smartphone is light (like Xiaomi). 10S 166 grams).
In addition, the keyboard vibration often turns on by default after resetting or updating MIUI. Even if you previously disabled it, after upgrading to a new firmware version (for example, from MIUI 12 to MIUI 14), the parameter can reset, due to Xiaomi's policy, which seeks to return factory settings for a "better user experience."
Method 1: Turn off vibration in the MIUI keyboard settings
The easiest method is to use the built-in options of Xiaomi’s standard keyboard, which is suitable for most users and requires no additional tools.
Instructions:
- Open any application that has a field to enter text (such as Messages or Notes).
- Touch the gear badge (⚙️) on the keyboard to open its settings.
- Go to the section Settings of the keyboard → Sound and vibration.
- Turn off the Vibration slider when pressed (or the Tactile Response in newer versions of MIUI).
If you have an alternative keyboard (such as Gboard), the path will be different:
- 📱 For Gboard: Settings → System system → Language and input → Virtual keyboard → Gboard → Settings → Sound on press (turn off vibration).
- ⌨️ For SwiftKey: Keyboard settings → Sound and vibration → Press vibration.
Make sure the keyboard is updated to the latest version|
Check if Do Not Disturb mode is enabled (it can block changes)|
Reboot your smartphone after turning off vibration |
Try to enter the text - the vibration must disappear-->
Important! On some MIUI firmware (especially custom ones), the vibrating item may not be on the menu, in which case try other ways from this article.
Method 2: Global vibration shutdown via Xiaomi 10S settings
If the keyboard vibration doesn't turn off through its own settings, you can block it at the system level, which is a radical method, because it will turn off all vibrational responses (notifications, calls, games), but it will work.
How to do this:
- Go to Settings. → Sound and vibration.
- Select Vibration (or Tactile Response in new versions).
- Turn off the vibration slider when touching.
- To completely disable, also deactivate Call Vibration and Notification Vibration.
| Parameter | What's off? | Impact on the keyboard |
|---|---|---|
| Vibration on touch | Press-on-screen response | ✅ Removes the vibration of the keyboard |
| Vibration on the bell | Trembling on incoming call | ❌ It doesn't. |
| Notification vibration | Response to new reports | ❌ It doesn't. |
| Adaptive vibration | Automatic force adjustment | ⚠️ Can return vibration after rebooting |
⚠️ Attention! If the keyboard still shakes after the vibration is turned off, check if you have a tactile response customization app (e.g. Vibration Tuner or Touch Feedback) installed.
Method 3: Using the Developer Mode
For power users, there's a more flexible method, which is to turn off vibrations through developer mode, so you can pinpointly control tactile responses without global change.
Steps:
- Activate Developer Mode: Go to Settings → About Phone and 7 times click on the MIUI Version. a notification will appear "You became a developer".
- Back to Settings → Additionally. → For developers.
- Find the Input section (or Hardware Rendering Acceleration in older versions).
- Turn off settings: Vibration when touching Tactile response Animation of vibration (if any)
If you don't have the right item, try searching for it in the settings (the magnifier icon in the upper right corner). In some firmware, the option is hidden under the name Haptic feedback.
💡
After the changes in the developer mode, restart the smartphone. Some settings apply only after the reboot.
On Xiaomi 10S with MIUI 13+ firmware, the option to turn off vibration for the keyboard appeared in the developer mode - it works regardless of the global vibration settings.
Method 4: Disconnect via ADB (for advanced users)
If standard methods don’t work, you can use Android Debug Bridge (ADB), which requires connecting your smartphone to your computer, but gives you full control over the vibration.
Instructions:
- Install ADB Tools on your PC.
- Enable USB debugging on Xiaomi 10S (Settings → Developers → USB debugging).
- Connect your smartphone to your computer and confirm your trust in the device.
- Open the command line (or Terminal) Mac/Linux) Enter: adb shell settings put global haptic_feedback_enabled 0 This command turns off vibration at the system level.
- To turn off vibrations only keyboards use: adb shell settings put secure vibrate_on 0
Example of settings in Vibration Tuner:
- Install the app from Google Play.
- Provide access to Special Features (in Android settings).
- Select Keyboard Vibration and move the slider to 0.
- Save the settings and restart the smartphone.
The downside of this method is that some applications require root rights to work properly, and without them, functionality may be limited.
💡
Third-party apps are useful if the system settings don't work or you need fine-tuning, but they can conflict with MIUI updates, so you'll have to reconfigure them after you upgrade the firmware.
What to do if the vibration returns after the update
Many Xiaomi 10S users are faced with the fact that after updating MIUI, the vibration of the keyboard is turned on again, this is due to the fact that the system resets some settings to default values.
- 🔄 Reset the keyboard settings. Go to Settings. → Annexes → Application management → Keyboard and press Reset settings.
- 📥 Reverse keyboard updates if the problem has occurred after the Gboard upgrade or standard keyboard MIUI, Return to the previous version via Settings → Annexes → Three points. → Reverse updates.
- 🔧 Use it. ADB Command: Adb shell cmd overlay enable --user 0 com.android.internal.systemui.navbar.vibrate.disabled will block vibration at the system interface level.
If nothing works, there are two options:
- Install custom firmware (e.g. LineageOS) where vibration is controlled separately.
- Contact the Xiaomi service center - sometimes the problem lies in the hardware failure of the vibration motor.
