How to remove the vibration when typing on Xiaomi Mi 10: all working methods

Vibration when typing on Xiaomi Mi 10 can be annoying, especially if you are actively texting or working with documents. Even a weak tactile response of the keyboard eventually becomes distracting, and in quiet rooms creates unnecessary noise. Fortunately, the manufacturer has provided several ways to disable this feature, both through standard settings and using hidden system settings.

In this article, we will discuss all the current methods of vibration removal, including little-known tricks for advanced users, you will learn how to deactivate tactile response for the standard Gboard keyboard, system MIUI Keyboard, as well as through the engineering menu and ADB. Separately, we will consider the cases when vibration returns after a firmware update - and how to fix it once and for all.

Why does the keyboard vibrate on Xiaomi Mi 10

The haptic response on the Xiaomi Mi 10 is activated by default for two purposes: to improve the perception of clicks and compensate for the lack of physical buttons. However, not all users like this effect.

• 🔹 System settings of the keyboard - in MIUI Tactile response is enabled for all virtual buttons.
• 🔹 Third-party apps – some keyboards (like SwiftKey) have their own vibration settings.
• 🔹 Firmware errors - after updating MIUI parameters can be dropped.
• 🔹 Hardware features – vibrator in Mi 10 more sensitive than in budget models.

Interestingly, some firmware (e.g. MIUI 12.5 and later) can automatically activate vibration when connected to Bluetooth devices or in game mode, and this is due to optimizing response for gamepads. If you notice this behavior, check the Game Turbo settings.

Method 1: Turn off vibration in MIUI settings

The easiest method is to deactivate the tactile response through system settings, which works for all keyboards installed on the device, including the Gboard and MIUI Keyboard.

1. Open the Settings. → Sound and vibration.
2. Scroll down to the Vibration block and select Vibration when pressed.
3. Transfer the slider to the off position or select the No Vibration option (depending on the MIUI version).

If you don't have Vibration, you're using an alternative route.

1. Go to Settings → Additional → Special Opportunities → Vibration.
2. Turn off the tactile response option.

Important! On some versions of MIUI (e.g. 13.0.4), this parameter may be called Vibration on touch or Response on press. If you don't find a point, use the settings search (the magnifier icon in the upper right corner).

Method 2: Setting up a specific keyboard

If the system shutdown didn’t work, the vibration can be activated in the keyboard settings themselves. Consider two popular options: Google’s standard MIUI Keyboard and Gboard.

For MIUI Keyboard

1. Open any text field (such as Notes) to allow the keyboard to appear.
2. Press the gear icon (⚙️) keyboard.
3. Select keyboard settings → Vibration when pressed.
4. Turn off the slider or select No.

For Gboard (Google)

1. Launch Gboard and tap three points (⋮) top-down.
2. Select Settings → Basic settings → Vibration when you press the keys.
3. Set the value off.

If you use another keyboard (e.g. SwiftKey or Fleksy), the algorithm is similar: look for Vibration settings or tactile response in the app settings.

💡

After turning off the vibration in the keyboard, check if it is activated in messengers (for example, in Telegram or WhatsApp). Some applications have their own response settings when typed.

Method 3: Through the Engineering Menu (for Advanced)

If standard methods fail, you can use the Engineering Mode, which requires caution, as improper changes can disrupt the phone.

1. Open the phone app and enter the combination: ##4636##
2. In the menu that opens, select Hardware Testing.
3. Scroll to the Vibration Test (or Vibration) section.
4. Press Disable Haptic Feedback (if you have one).

⚠️ Note: On some Xiaomi Mi 10 firmware, the engineering menu may not contain options to turn off vibration.In this case, do not change other settings - this may cause sensors or camera malfunctions.

Method 4: Disconnect via ADB (for power users)

If the vibration returns after a reboot or update, disabling through ADB will help.This method requires connecting the phone to a computer and basic command line knowledge.

Step 1: Preparation

• 🔌 Install. ADB and Fastboot Tools on PC.
• 📱 Turn on Debugging. USB on the phone: Settings → The phone. → Version. MIUI (Press 7 times to activate Developer Mode, then return to Settings → Additionally. → For developers → Debugging by USB.
• 🖥️ Connect Xiaomi Mi 10 to your computer and confirm debugging permission.

Step 2: Execution of commands

Open the command prompt (cmd) in the folder with ADB and enter alternately:

adb shell settings put system haptic_feedback_enabled 0


adb shell settings put system vibration_intensity 0

After you've done the commands, restart your phone. The typing vibration should disappear.

⚠️ Warning: These commands will disable all tactile feedback in the system, including vibrations on calls and notifications. If you only need to return the notification vibration, use the:

adb shell settings put system haptic_feedback_enabled 1


adb shell settings put system vibration_intensity 50

💡

ADB commands are reset after resetting settings or updating the firmware. To save the changes, use Tasker or auto-execution scripts.

Method 5: Resetting keyboard settings

If the vibration comes after you update MIUI or install new software, resetting your keyboard to factory settings will help, and it won't delete your data, but it will return all your input parameters to default.

1. Go to Settings → Applications → Application Management.
2. Find your keyboard (such as MIUI Keyboard or Gboard) and tap it.
3. Select Warehouse → Clear data and Clear cache.
4. Reboot the phone.

Once you reboot, open the keyboard and reconfigure it without activating the vibration in the settings, and if the problem was that the configuration files were crashing, this method will help.

⚠️ Warning: Clearing the keyboard data will remove the input history and saved words from the dictionary. If it is critical, pre-backup through Settings → Additionally. → Backup.

What to do if the vibration returns

Some Xiaomi Mi 10 users are faced with the fact that the vibration when typing turns on itself after:

• 🔄 Updates MIUI (Especially when switching to a new version, for example, from 12.5 to 13).
• 📱 Connections to Bluetooth devices (earphones, gamepads).
• 🔋 Battery discharge below 15% (energy saving mode can reset settings).

Decisions:

1. Turn off automatic keyboard updates in Google Play (for Gboard) or MIUI App Store (for standard keyboard).
2. Use Tasker or MacroDroid to run automatically ADB-teams after reboot.
3. Install an alternative keyboard (such as Simple Keyboard) that doesn’t have a built-in vibration.
