How to turn off the key vibration on Xiaomi Redmi 7: 5 working ways

Xiaomi Redmi 7 is still a popular budget smartphone, but its tactile return when typing annoys many users. It distracts you in silence, eats up battery power, and can even cause discomfort during long-term dialing. In this article, we will examine all the ways to turn off the vibration response, from standard settings to hidden developer parameters and the user experience. ADB-team.

We tested all the methods on current versions of MIUI and collected only those that are guaranteed to work. If you’re tired of constantly “rattling” when printing, read on.

Why the keyboard vibrates on Redmi 7: technical reasons

Vibration when pressing the keys on Xiaomi Redmi 7 is laid at the level of the MIUI firmware. It is implemented through two mechanisms:

• 🔹 Tactile keyboard return - vibration when you press the buttons of the built-in or third-party keyboard (Gboard, SwiftKey, etc.
• 🔹 System vibratory response: The response to touching the screen in the menu, when you click on application icons or navigation buttons.

On Redmi 7 (onclite), the vibration motor is one, but it's used for both notifications and keyboards, which means that turning off vibration in one place can affect another, for example, if you completely deactivate the vibration response in the audio settings, not only the keys will stop vibrating, but incoming calls will stop in silent mode.

Another reason for constant vibration is a firmware bug, and some versions of MIUI 10-12 for Redmi 7 have had a problem where the vibration response was triggered even when the settings were turned off, due to a conflict between com.android.systemui and com.miui.touchassistant, which is solved by resetting or updating the software.

Method 1: Turn off vibration in keyboard settings

The most obvious method is to deactivate the tactile recoil directly in the keyboard settings. The Redmi 7 has a Google (Gboard) or standard keyboard installed by default. MIUI-Keyboard. The instructions are different.

For Gboard:

If the vibration remains after these actions, then the problem lies in the system settings (see Method 2). Also check if you have third-party keyboards (for example, SwiftKey or Chroom) installed - their settings can duplicate the vibration response.

Method 2: Deactivation of System Vibration in MIUI

On Redmi 7, the key vibration can be tied not only to the keyboard, but also to the system sounds, to turn it off completely:

1. Go to Settings. → Sound and vibration.
2. Scroll down to the Vibration block.
3. Turn off the options: 📲 Vibration upon touch (responsible for response when pressed on screen) 🔑 Vibration when pressing buttons (for system navigation buttons)

Important: some versions of MIUI have hidden the Touch Vibration option, so you can see it by turning on Developer Mode (7 times clicking on MIUI Version in About Phone) and activating USB debugging.

⚠️ Warning: If you turn off Vibration in silent mode, the phone will stop vibrating when incoming calls and SMS. This can lead to missing important notifications.

Method 3: Use ADB-deep-switch

If the standard settings do not help, you will have to resort to ADB-This method allows you to turn off vibration at the system level, including hidden parameters. MIUI. You'll need it:

• 🖥️ Computer with installed ADB Tools.
• 📱 Included Debugging by USB Redmi 7.
• 🔌 USB-cable (preferably original).

• 🌍 global haptic_feedback_enabled — global vibration settings.
• 🔒 vibrate_on — Vibration in events (notifications, calls).

⚠️ Attention: After completion ADB-In the commands, some functions (such as vibration when unlocked with a fingerprint) may stop working. To get it back, replace 0 with 1.

Method 4: Third-party applications for vibration control

If you don't want to dig into the settings or use ADB, you can use third-party utilities.

• 🛠️ Vibration Tuner (requires root) – allows you to fine-tune the strength and duration of vibration for each event.
• 🔇 Disable Haptic Feedback – Disables tactile response without root, but doesn’t work on all versions MIUI.
• 📱 MacroDroid – Creates automatic rules to turn off vibration in certain applications (for example, only in the keyboard).

How to use Vibration Tuner:

1. Install the app from Google Play.
2. Provide root access (if the phone is not rooted, the app will not work).
3. In the Haptic Feedback section, move the Keyboard vibration slider to the Off position.
4. Save the settings and restart the device.

Without root rights, application functionality is limited, such as Disable Haptic Feedback, which may not work on the root. MIUI 12 because of secure system permissions, in which case only ADB-commands or resets.

Method 5: Resetting settings to factory

If all the previous methods have failed, the radical solution is to reset to factory settings, which will help in cases where the vibration is caused by:

• 🔄 Update conflict MIUI.
• 📱 The failure of services com.miui.touchassistant.
• 🛠️ Incorrect settings from previous owners (if the phone used).

⚠️ Note: Reset deletes all data, including accounts, Wi-Fi passwords and files in internal memory. If you used Mi Account to back up, you can restore some of the data through Settings → Additionally. → Recovery and discharge.

More tips: how to reduce vibration without completely switching off

If you don’t want total silence, but the standard vibration is too strong, you can try to relax it.

• 🔊 Reduce the duration: in some firmware MIUI There's a hidden option called Vibration Duration. To find it, activate Developer Mode and type "vibration" into your settings search».
• 📉 Use Quiet Mode: In the notification curtain, turn on Quiet Mode (the bell icon with the crossed wave) and this will turn off the notification vibration, but leave a tactile response of the keys.
• 🔄 Update the firmware: in new versions MIUI 13+ Adaptive vibration is available, which automatically adjusts the force of recoil depending on the context.

For advanced users: if you have root access, you can edit the file /system/vendor/overlay/haptic_feedback.xml, reduce parameter values vibrate_duration and vibrate_strength. However, this is risky and can lead to system failures.
