How to remove the vibration when typing on Xiaomi Redmi Note 10S: 7 working ways

Vibrating the keyboard on the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10S can be annoying - especially if you type a lot or use your smartphone in quiet places. Even a slight jitter of the case with each tap distracts, reduces the speed of dialing and drains the battery. Fortunately, the manufacturer has envisaged several ways to turn off this feature, but not all of them are obvious to users.

Complicating the problem, vibrations can come not only from the Gboard or MIUI Keyboard system keyboard, but also from third-party applications (messengers, social networks). In this article, we will analyze all possible sources of vibration and explain in detail how to deactivate them. You will learn which settings are responsible for tactile feedback, how to reset parameters to factory ones if the vibration does not turn off, and what to do if the problem is caused by a firmware failure.

Important: on the Redmi Note 10S (model m1804d7sg), the vibration of the keyboard can be associated with the proprietary shell MIUI 12/13/14. Some users are faced with the fact that after updating the system, the previous settings are reset, we took this feature into account and included in the instructions the current methods for the latest versions of the software.

1. disable vibration in the settings of the MIUI system keyboard

The first thing to check is the settings of the standard MIUI Keyboard. Even if you use a third-party application (such as Gboard or SwiftKey), the system keyboard may remain active for some input fields (such as in the settings menu or when logging in).

To turn off the vibration:

1. Go to Settings → Additional settings → Language and input.
2. Select the MIUI Keyboard (or Current Keyboard if another is used).
3. Slap the icon. ⚙️ keyboard-name.
4. Find the Vibration section when pressed (or Tactile Feedback) and move the slider to the Off position.

If there is no such option, then the vibration is controlled at the system level — move to the next section. Also note that in some versions of MIUI the option is hidden behind an additional menu: to appear, you may need to click on three dots in the upper right corner of the keyboard settings screen.

💡

If you still feel vibration after turning off, check if you have an additional theme installed with your own keyboard settings. Return the standard theme to Settings → Themes

2. Vibration settings in Gboard and other third-party keyboards

If you use Gboard (keyboard from Google) or other alternative solutions (SwiftKey, Fleksy), the vibration is controlled directly in the settings of these applications.

For Gboard:

1. Open any field to enter text (for example, notes or messenger).
2. Slap the icon. ⚙️ on the keyboard panel (or hold the comma/space to call the menu).
3. Select Settings → Sound when pressed.
4. Turn off the options Vibration when pressed and Sound when pressed.

For other keyboards, the algorithm is similar, but the name of the items may differ. For example, in SwiftKey, you need to go to Settings → Sound and vibration and deactivate the corresponding switches.

3. Global vibration shutdown in MIUI settings

If the vibration persists even after it is turned off in the keyboard, the problem may lie in the system parameters of MIUI. The shell allows you to flexibly adjust tactile feedback for different scenarios, including typing.

To completely shut down the vibration:

• 📱 Go to Settings. → Sound and vibration.
• 🔄 Scroll down to the Vibration section.
• 🛑 Turn off options: Vibration when pressed (for keyboard and interface) Vibration when touched (for system buttons)

Note: Some MIUI firmware for the Redmi Note 10S may not have the option "Vibration on press" on this menu, in which case you should look for it under "Special features" (see next section).

Verification of parameters in “Special capabilities”

In rare cases, keyboard vibration is controlled via a special feature menu, which is relevant for users who have previously included features for people with disabilities (e.g., enhanced tactile feedback).

How to check:

1. Open the Settings. → Special facilities.
2. Go to the Physical Opportunities section → Vibration.
3. Make sure all vibration-related options are turned off.

If nothing is found here, but the vibration is still working, try resetting special features to factory settings. To do this, select Reset special features settings (usually this option is hidden at the bottom of the screen).

5. Resetting keyboard settings to factory

If the vibration is not switched off through the standard menu, there may have been a failure in the keyboard settings, in which case the reset will help:

For MIUI Keyboard:

1. Go to Settings → Applications → Application Management.
2. Find the MIUI keyboard in the list and tap it.
3. Select Warehouse. → Clear the data.
4. Confirm the action (this will remove all user dictionaries and settings).

For Gboard:

1. Open the keyboard settings (as described in Section 2).
2. Select additionally → Resetting settings.
3. Confirm the reset.

Once reset, the vibration should turn off, but you will need to reconfigure the keyboard (languages, themes, dictionaries).

💡

Resetting your keyboard removes all added words and preferences. Before the procedure, export your custom dictionary if it is important (in Gboard: Settings → Dictionary → Export).

6. Update firmware and check for MIUI bugs

Some versions of MIUI 12.5 and MIUI 13 for the Redmi Note 10S have encountered a bug where the keyboard vibration turned on on on itself after the update. If you notice that the problem occurred after installing a new firmware, try:

• 🔄 Check for updates in Settings → The phone. → Updating the system.
• 📥 Install the latest stable version MIUI (if available).
• 🐞 Report the bug through the Feedback app (available in standard Xiaomi utilities).

If the update didn't work, you can try to roll back to the previous firmware version.

1. Download the archive with the desired version of MIUI for Redmi Note 10S (model m1804d7sg) from the official Xiaomi website.
2. Go to Settings → About Phone → MIUI version and tap the build number 7 times to activate the developer mode.
3. Return to Settings → Additional Settings → Developer Settings and enable OEM Unlock.
4. Install firmware through System Update → Three dots → Select an update file.

⚠️ Attention: Firmware rollback may cause data loss.Before the procedure, make a backup through Settings → Additional settings → Backup and reset.

7. Radical measures: turning off vibration through ADB

If none of the above methods worked, the alternative is ADB (Android Debug Bridge), which requires connecting the smartphone to the computer and basic command line knowledge.

Instructions:

1. Install. ADB-PC drivers.
2. Activate the developer mode on your smartphone (7 taps by build number in Settings → About phone).
3. Enable USB Debugging in Developer Settings.
4. Connect the Redmi Note 10S To the computer and execute the command in the terminal: adb shell settings put system haptic_feedback_enabled 0
5. To turn off the vibration of the keyboard specifically use: adb shell settings put system keyboard_vibration_on 0

If the commands don’t work, try an alternative:

adb shell content insert --uri content://settings/system --bind name:s:haptic_feedback_enabled --bind value:i:0

⚠️ Attention: Misuse of the right ADB Do not change other settings unless you are sure of their purpose.
