How to remove the vibration when typing on Xiaomi Redmi Note 10: all ways

Vibrating the keyboard on the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 can be annoying, especially if you type a lot or use your smartphone in silence. The tactile response is not only distracting, but also drains battery power, and in some cases even causes discomfort during long-term dialing. Fortunately, you can turn this feature off in several ways: through system settings, keyboard settings, or even using an engineering menu.

Many MIUI users experience vibrations returning after updates or resets, ranging from a failure of the standard Gboard keyboard to a power optimisation conflict, and in this article we will look at all the current techniques, from basic to advanced, including solutions for cases where standard methods do not work.

If you want to not just turn off the vibration, but completely customize the tactile feedback to suit you -- like reducing the intensity or leaving it for certain actions -- you'll find the right instructions here, too. And for those who prefer visual cues, at the end of this article, there's a video guide with a step-by-step demo.

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

The easiest way to remove the vibration is through the menu of the keyboard itself. The Redmi Note 10 has the Xiaomi Keyboard (formerly known as the Mi Keyboard) installed by default, and it has a separate switch for tactile response.

To find him:

  • πŸ“± Open any field to enter text (for example, in Messages or Notes).
  • βš™οΈ Click on the gear icon in the top keyboard panel (near the emoji button).
  • πŸ” Go to the section Settings of the keyboard β†’ Sound and vibration.
  • πŸ”• Turn off the slider Vibration when pressed.

If you have a Gboard installed, the path will be slightly different: Settings β†’ Preferences β†’ Vibration when pressed. Note that in some versions of MIUI, the menu item may be called Tactile Feedback.

πŸ’‘

If after turning off the vibration still works, try to restart the smartphone – sometimes the settings are applied only after the reboot.

2. Global shutdown of vibration in system settings

If vibration interferes not only with typing, but also in other situations (for example, when touching the screen or pressing system buttons), you can turn it off completely through the Xiaomi menu:

  1. πŸ”§ Go to Settings. β†’ Sound and vibration.
  2. πŸ“± Scroll down to the Vibration block.
  3. πŸ”• Turn off the slider Vibration when touching.
  4. πŸ”„ For reliability, also check the Vibration item when dialing (if it is in your version). MIUI).

Important: This method will turn off vibration in all applications, including notifications and games. If you only need to leave a tactile response for certain actions (for example, for an alarm clock), use more point settings from the following sections.

What if the β€œvibration” item is not on the menu?
In some MIUI firmware (especially older versions), the vibration partition may be hidden, in which case try using the engineering menu method or install an alternative keyboard.

3. Vibration setting for third-party keyboards (Gboard, SwiftKey, etc.)

If you use a third-party keyboard (such as Gboard, SwiftKey, or Fleksy), the vibration settings may vary.

If after turning off the vibration in the keyboard settings, it still works, try:

  • πŸ”„ Reinstall the keyboard (re-install and remove from Google Play).
  • πŸ“± Clear the application cache in Settings β†’ Annexes β†’ [Keyboard name] β†’ Memory. β†’ Clear the cache.
  • πŸ”§ Check if the keyboard conflicts with other applications (e.g., power managers).

4.Use of the engineering menu to deeply adjust vibration

If standard methods don't work, you can use the engineering menu (#4636##) where hidden system settings are available, which is suitable for advanced users, as incorrect changes can lead to failures.

Instructions:

  1. πŸ“ž Open the Phone app and enter the code: ##4636##.
  2. πŸ”§ In the menu that opens, select Hardware Testing).
  3. πŸ” Find the Vibrator section (may be called Vibration or Haptic Feedback).
  4. πŸ”• Turn off all vibration-related sliders or set 0 for Vibrator Strength.

Note: changes to the engineering menu are not saved after the reboot, and to make them permanent, you will need root access or special applications like MTK Engineering Mode (for MediaTek processors).

5. Disable vibration through ADB (for advanced users)

If the vibration returns after each MIUI update, you can block it at the system level using the Android Debug Bridge (ADB), a technique that requires connecting your smartphone to your computer and basic command line knowledge.

Step-by-step:

  1. πŸ’» Install. ADB to your computer (you can download from the official Android website).
  2. πŸ”Œ Connect the Redmi Note 10 to USB And turn on the debugging. USB In Settings β†’ The phone. β†’ Version. MIUI (Press 7 times on the item Version MIUI, Then go back to the settings. β†’ Additionally. β†’ For developers).
  3. πŸ–₯️ Open the command line (Windows) or the terminal (macOS/Linux) enter:
adb shell settings put global haptic_feedback_enabled 0


adb shell settings put global vibration_intensity 0

These commands will completely shut down the vibration at the system level, so to bring it back, replace 0 with 1.

⚠️ Attention: Misuse of the right ADB This can cause your smartphone to work in an unstable way.

6.Control checks for battery optimization conflicts

Sometimes the keyboard vibration is turned on automatically due to power saving or MIUI optimization modes. For example, the Smart Optimization option can be activated in the battery settings, which resets the vibration settings.

To fix this:

  • πŸ”‹ Go to Settings. β†’ Battery and performance β†’ Optimizing the battery.
  • πŸ” Find your keyboard in the app list and select Without Limits.
  • πŸ”„ Turn off the Smart Optimization option (if it is active).

Also check if Power Saving Mode or Ultra Mode is on – they can automatically change vibration settings to save charge.
