How to remove vibration on the keyboard Xiaomi Redmi Note: the complete guide

Vibration of the keyboard on Xiaomi Redmi Note smartphones can be a useful feature for some users, but it annoys many – especially when the tactile recoil is triggered with every tap. If you are tired of the constant shaking of the phone in your hands or want to save battery power, this guide will help you completely turn off the vibration or adjust it to your preferences.

Depending on the MIUI version (12, 13 or 14) and the Redmi Note model (Note 8 Pro to Note 12 Turbo), the ways to turn off may vary slightly. We will look at all current methods, from standard settings to hidden developer settings, and learn how to turn off vibration only for certain applications (such as WhatsApp or Telegram) or why the feature can spontaneously turn on after updates.

Before you start, check your firmware version: go to Settings → About Phone → MIUI version. This will help you follow the instructions more accurately.

1. Standard keyboard vibration disabling in MIUI settings

The easiest way is to use the built-in system options, which is suitable for most Redmi Note models on MIUI 12-14, including the Note 10 Pro, Note 11 and new series.

Open any field to type text (such as notes or a message in a messenger) to make the keyboard appear.

• 🔧 Press the gear icon (⚙️) in the upper row of the keyboard (near the button emojis).
• 📱 In the keyboard settings menu, select the input settings → Press vibration.
• 🔕 Transfer the slider to the off position. or uncheck (depending on the version).
• 🔄 If you don’t have an option, try another method from this article.

Important: Some firmware may have a different path, such as Keyboard Settings → Sound and Vibration → Key Vibration. If you have a Google keyboard installed, the instruction will be different (see Section 3).

2. Disconnection through system settings of sound and vibration

If the keyboard vibration option is not displayed in the menu of the keyboard itself, it can be deactivated via the phone's global settings. This method works on all Redmi Notes with MIUI 13/14:

1. Go to Settings. → Sound and vibration.
2. Scroll down to the Vibration block and select Vibration when pressed.
3. Turn off the slider next to the Keyboard (or System Keyboard).

On some models (e.g. Redmi Note 9 Pro), this option may be called Tactile Feedback. If you don't find it, search by settings (the magnifier icon in the upper right corner).

💡

After you turn off the keyboard vibration, check if Adaptive Vibration is activated in the same menu, and it can automatically enable tactile feedback in some applications.

3. Vibration setting in Gboard (Google keyboard)

If you use Gboard instead of a standard MIUI keyboard, the vibration-off algorithm will be different.

• 📝 Open any text box and tap the Gboard icon (Google logo or three dots) in the top row of the keyboard.
• 🔧 Select Settings → Text input settings.
• 🔕 Scroll to the Vibration section when pressed and turn it off.
• 🔄 If you don’t have an option, upgrade Gboard in the Play Store.

On the Redmi Note 12 with MIUI 14 and the fresh Gboard version, you may need to further disable the Sound and key vibration in the Topics, Emoji and GIF section.

4. Hidden developer settings: complete vibration shutdown

If standard methods don't work, you can use the developer mode, which is true for Redmi Note 8/9/10 with custom firmware or after resetting.

First, activate the developer menu:

Settings → About Phone → MIUI version (click 7 times in a row)

Then:

1. Back to Settings → Additionally. → For developers.
2. Find the item Turn off vibration or vibration when touching.
3. Select Unplugged for all options related to the keyboard.

⚠️ Warning: Changing the settings in the developer menu can affect the stability of the phone.

5. Disabling vibration for individual applications

Some messengers (such as Telegram or Viber) have their own keyboard settings that override the system, so that only they can turn off vibrations:

If the app doesn’t have a separate option for the keyboard, try turning off the vibration entirely in its notification settings.

Make sure the keyboard is updated|Check the settings of a specific messenger|Make a backup copy of the settings (optional)|Reboot your phone after the changes-->

6. Why does the keyboard vibration turn on on on its own?

Xiaomi Redmi Note users often experience keyboard vibrations returning after a system update or reset. Causes and solutions:

• 🔄 Update MIUI: Once you install the new firmware version, some of the settings are reset.
• 📲 Factory reset: Vibration turns on by default. Turn it off immediately after the first phone setup.
• 🤖 Battery Optimization: On the Redmi Note 11 and later, Adaptive Vibration can automatically turn on low-charge recoil. Turn it off in Settings → Battery → Optimization.
• 🛠️ System File Failure: If the vibration doesn’t turn off in any way, try clearing the keyboard cache in Settings → Annexes → Application management → keyboard → Warehouse → Clear the cache.

⚠️ Note: Some of the firmware for Redmi Note 10S Note 11 Pro+ Keyboard vibration is tied to the system theme. Try changing the theme to the standard one in Settings → Screen. → Theme.

7.Alternative methods: third-party keyboards and ADB

Third-party keyboard installation: Apps like SwiftKey or Fleksy allow you to flexibly adjust the vibration.

1. Go to Settings → System → Language and input → Current keyboard.
2. Select the installed keyboard and turn off the vibration in its settings.

Disconnect via ADB (for advanced users): If the vibration does not turn off due to a system failure, you can use the command:

adb shell settings put system haptic_feedback_enabled 0

This will require you to install ADB on your computer and connect the phone in debugging mode.
