How to turn off keyboard vibration on Xiaomi: all methods of 2026

Vibrating the keyboard on Xiaomi may seem like a useful feature — it gives tactile feedback when typing. But for many users, this “recoil” is annoying: distracting from thoughts, slowing down the speed of printing or simply interfering with silence. Fortunately, you can turn off the vibration in a few seconds — both in the standard MIUI keyboard and in third-party applications like Gboard or SwiftKey.

In this article you will find 5 We've also tried and tested ways to remove vibration when you press keys, from basic settings to hidden developer settings, and we've also looked at why vibrations can spontaneously turn on after updates, and how to prevent them. POCO on MIUI 12/13/14 HyperOS.

If you're tired of the phone rattling all the time when printing, read on.Spoiler: The fastest method takes less than 20 seconds!

1.Switch off vibration in the standard MIUI keyboard

By default, Xiaomi smartphones use the proprietary MIUI Keyboard (formerly Mi Keyboard), which can be turned off directly in the system settings, without installing additional applications.

1. Open Settings → Additional → Language and input.
2. Slip on the MIUI keyboard (or the current keyboard if you use another one).
3. Select keyboard settings → Review when pressed.
4. Translate the slider Vibration when pressed to the off position.

If your MIUI version does not have a “Click Review” option, try an alternative path:

• 🔧 Settings → Sound and vibration → Vibration of the system → Turn off the keyboard vibration.
• ℹ️ On some firmware, the option is hidden in the keyboard settings → Additionally. → Tactile feedback.

💡

If the vibration still works after turning off, restart the phone - sometimes the settings are applied only after the reboot.

Important: On POCO and some Redmi models (e.g. Note 12 Pro+), the path may differ due to customized shell. If you don't find an option, check the Special Features → Physical Interaction section.

2. Vibration setting in Gboard (Google Keyboard)

Many Xiaomi users prefer Gboard over the standard keyboard, and this app disables vibration separately from system settings.

1. Open any field to enter text (for example, in Messages or Notes).
2. Put the pin on the gear badge (⚙️) on the keyboard panel to open the Gboard settings.
3. Go to Text Entering Options → Vibration when you press the keys.
4. Choose No Vibration or Off (depending on the version of the application).

If you have an older version of Gboard (before 2023), the path may look different:

• 📱 Gboard settings → Input settings → Pressed sound → Turn off the vibration.
• ⚠️ In some regions (e.g. India or Europe) the option is called Haptic feedback.

Tip for owners of POCO F5 and Xiaomi 13: If after the MIUI update the vibration in the Gboard turned on itself, reset the keyboard settings to factory.

3.The issues after the MIUI update: why does the vibration return?

Many users complain that after updating the MIUI firmware, the keyboard vibration turns on automatically, which is because the system resets some of the default settings.

On Xiaomi 14 and POCO F6 with HyperOS, the keyboard vibration can be controlled through the new section Tactile effects in audio settings. If you don't find an option, check this item.

If the problem repeats after each update, try turning off automatic system optimization:

1. Go to Settings. → The phone.
2. Slip the MIUI version 7 times to activate the developer mode.
3. Back to Settings → Additionally. → For developers.
4. Turn off MIUI Auto-Optimization and Memory Optimization.

4. Hidden settings: Disabling vibration through ADB

If the standard methods do not work, you can use debugging on the ADB (Android Debug Bridge. This is a way for power users to connect the phone to a computer. Here's a step-by-step guide:

Install ADB drivers on PC| Enable USB debugging on Xiaomi| Connect your phone to your computer | Download ADB-->

When you are ready, execute the following commands in the terminal (command line):

adb shell settings put system haptic_feedback_enabled 0


adb shell settings put system vibration_intensity 0

For the Gboard keyboard, use a separate command:

adb shell am start -n com.google.android.inputmethod.latin/com.android.inputmethod.settings.InputMethodSettingsActivity

After that, the hidden Haptic feedback strength option will appear in the Gboard settings – set the value to 0.

💡

The ADB method works even on locked bootloaders, but requires USB debugging enabled. Once the commands are executed, the vibration will shut down globally, not only for the keyboard, but for other system events as well.

⚠️ Attention: Misuse of the right ADB If you're not sure what you're doing, skip this section and try other ways.

5 Vibration in Games and Third Party Applications

Sometimes the vibration when typing is not due to the keyboard, but due to game modes or third-party applications (such as WhatsApp, Telegram).

2. Select Equipment Testing → Vibration.
3. Check if the vibration is working in the test, if not, the problem is in the software, if so, in the hardware (possibly damaged vibrator motor).

Hardware malfunctions: when vibration does not turn off

If you’ve tried all the ways, but the vibration of typing still works, the problem may be:

• 🛠️ Faulty vibromotor - it "sticks" and works arbitrarily.
• 🔌 Damaged plume (often after falls or repairs).
• 📱 Failure in the vibration controller (reflashing or replacement of the board is required).

Checking for hardware fault is simple:

1. Turn off all vibration in the settings: Sound and vibration → System Vibration → Off.
2. If the phone still vibrates when typing, the problem is the hardware.

⚠️ Attention: On Xiaomi 12S Ultra and POCO X5 The Pro vibrator is integrated into the camera body, and if it fails, it can cause not only false vibrations, but also problems with focusing.

If the warranty is still valid, contact the service center. The cost of replacing the vibrator in informal workshops usually does not exceed 500-1000 rubles, but on models with a sealed body (for example, Xiaomi 13 Pro) the price may be higher due to the complexity of disassembly.
