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

Vibrating the keyboard on the Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro can be a useful feature for those who are used to tactile feedback when typing. However, for many users, it becomes a source of irritation — especially if the smartphone is lying on a hard surface or the vibration is too intense. Fortunately, you can turn it off in several ways, depending on which keyboard you use: standard MIUI, Gboard from Google or a third-party solution.

In this article, we will discuss all the current methods of disabling vibration, including hidden system settings that are not always obvious, and you will also learn why vibrations can suddenly turn on on on their own (for example, after a MIUI update) and how to prevent this, if you encounter a problem when settings are reset or not saved, there is a solution for this.

Why does the keyboard vibrate on the Redmi Note 8 Pro?

The keystroke vibration response is a haptic feedback feature that is activated by default on most keyboards. On the Redmi Note 8 Pro, it can operate in three modes:

• 🔄 A brief vibration is an easy response with each press.
• 🔊 Sound. + vibration – a combination of an audio signal and a tactile response.
• ❌ No vibration – complete shutdown (manually or default in some firmware).

Users often complain about vibration for the following reasons:

• 📱 Update MIUI — After installing a new version of the firmware, the settings can be reset.
• 🔄 Reset to factory settings – returns all parameters to default.
• 🎹 Change keyboard – when switching from Gboard to standard MIUI-keyboard (or vice versa) settings are not automatically transferred.
• 🔋 Charge saving – some energy saving modes turn off vibration, but once it is out of them, it can return.

Before you start shutting down, check which keyboard is active.

1. Open any field to enter text (for example, in Messages or Notes).
2. Touch the gear badge (⚙️) ternary (⋮) keyboard.
3. See the name at the top of the settings menu (such as Gboard or MIUI Keyboard).

Method 1: Turn off vibration in a standard MIUI keyboard

If you use Xiaomi’s native keyboard (which is the default on all MIUI devices), you can turn off the vibration in its settings. The interface may vary slightly depending on the firmware version (MIUI 12/13/14), but the overall algorithm remains unchanged.

Follow the instructions:

1. Open any application with a text input field (e.g. Messages).
2. Touch the gear badge (⚙️) on the keyboard to open the settings.
3. Go to the section Settings of the keyboard → Feedback when pressed.
4. Remove the tick from the Vibration item when pressed (or move the slider to the Off position).
5. Save the changes and check the result.

If your version of MIUI doesn’t have a separate point for vibration, try:

• 🔍 Go to Settings. → Sound and vibration → Other sounds and look there for the option Vibration keyboard.
• 🔄 Reboot the smartphone – sometimes the settings are applied only after the reboot.

⚠️ Note: Some custom firmware (e.g. Xiaomi.EU) may have different paths to settings. If you don't find the right item, try resetting the keyboard to factory settings via Settings → Annexes → Application management → keyboard → Warehouse → Clear the data.

Method 2: Turn off vibration in Gboard (Google keyboard)

Gboard is one of the most popular alternatives to the standard MIUI keyboard, and if you use it, you can turn off the vibration through its own settings, and it's important to consider that in some versions of the app, the menu may look different, but the logic remains the same.

Step-by-step:

1. Open any text field and call the Gboard keyboard.
2. Click on the tripod icon (⋮) keyboard.
3. Select Settings → Text entry options.
4. Scroll down to the Vibration section when you press the keys.
5. Switch the slider to the off position.

If you have an older version of Gboard (before 2022), the path may be different:

• 📌 Settings → Pressed sound → Vibration.
• 📌 Settings → Topics, emojis and GIF → Keyboard settings → Vibration.

After turning off, check the keyboard in different applications (for example, WhatsApp and Telegram). Sometimes the settings are not applied immediately - in this case, restart the smartphone.

💡

If Gboard does not have the option to turn off vibration, update the app via Google Play. In older versions (below 11.0), this option may not be available.

Method 3: Turning off vibration through Android system settings

If the keyboard settings don’t help or the vibration returns after the reboot, the problem may lie in the global vibration settings at the Android level. MIUI has a separate section where you can control all types of vibration signals, including the keyboard.

How to do this:

1. Open the smartphone settings.
2. Go to Sound and Vibration.
3. Select Vibration (or Tactile Feedback in newer versions of MIUI).
4. Find the Vibration item when pressing or Keyboard Vibration and turn it off.

⚠️ Note: If you use the power saving mode (Settings) → Battery and productivity → Power saving mode, some vibration settings can be automatically turned on or off. Check for keyboard exceptions in battery settings.

Method 4: Turn off vibration for third-party keyboards (SwiftKey, Fleksy, etc.)

If you have installed a third-party keyboard (e.g., Microsoft SwiftKey, Fleksy, or Chroom), the vibration settings may be elsewhere, and the general principle is the same: go to the parameters of a particular keyboard and find the feedback section.

Examples for popular keyboards:

• 🔹 SwiftKey: Open the keyboard and press the gear icon. Go to Sound and Vibration. Turn off Vibration when you press the keys.
• 🔹 Fleksy: Click on the Fleksy icon (wave logo) on the keyboard. Select Settings → Key press feedback. Turn off Vibration.

Chroom:

2. Go to Preferences. → Haptic feedback.
3. Uncheck the Enable Vibration box.

Method 5: Disabling vibration through ADB (for power users)

If all previous methods failed, you can use USB debugging and ADB command to force the vibration to be turned off at the system level, a method that is suitable for users who are willing to work with the console.

Important: This method will require:

• 🖥️ Computer with drivers installed ADB and Platform Tools.
• 📱 Included debugging by USB on a smartphone (Settings) → The phone. → Version. MIUI → 7 times press to activate the developer mode, then Settings → Additional settings → Developer parameters → Debugging by USB).

If the vibration is still working, try the additional command:

adb shell settings put secure vibrate_on 0

⚠️ Attention: Teams ADB If you're not sure what you're doing, you're better off using other methods. MIUI vibrations may be on again.

💡

Adb shell settings put global haptic_feedback_enabled 0 It turns off all the tactile feedback in the system, not just the keyboard vibration. If you need vibration for notifications or calls, this method is not suitable - use the keyboard settings.
