Owners of Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 smartphones often face a situation where the tactile return of printing becomes intrusive or simply interferes in a quiet environment. Constant humming under your fingers can be annoying, especially if you are used to silent typing or are in a movie theater, library or meeting. Fortunately, the MIUI operating system provides flexible tools to control all kinds of vibrations, including system and application.
The process of disabling keyboard vibration does not require root rights or deep technical knowledge, but the path to settings may vary depending on the firmware version. In this guide, we will discuss in detail all possible ways to eliminate vibration both through system settings and through the settings of the keyboard application itself. It is important to understand that in modern versions of MIUI, the keyboard vibration setting is placed in a separate menu item inside the keyboard itself, rather than in the general settings of the phone sound.
Here is a comprehensive guide to help you customize your device, and we’ll look at standard methods, third-party keyboards, and how to solve problems where the vibration doesn’t disappear after standard actions. Follow the steps consistently to ensure you get the desired result.
System Vibration settings in MIUI
The first step that a Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 user needs to take is to check the overall system settings for sound and vibration. This is where the device's basic response to touching the interface is adjusted. Open the Settings app on the home screen or in the notification curtain. Find the Sound and Vibration section, which is usually located at the top of the settings list.
Inside this menu, you'll see a "Vibration on touch" slider or "Vibration on input." If this switch is active, the smartphone will vibrate any time you press the on-screen keyboard, even if the keyboard settings turn it off. System priority in MIUI often override application settings, so this step is critical to fully deactivating the tactile response.
Also in this section, you should pay attention to the item "Vibration Control": In some versions of the MIUI 12 and MIUI 13 shells, which are installed on the Redmi Note 10, you can adjust the vibration intensity in detail for different use cases. Make sure that the sliders responsible for tactile response when you type text are shifted to the leftmost position or completely turned off.
⚠️ Warning: Disabling the system vibration of touches can affect the operation of other interface elements, making navigation on the menu less tangible.If you want to remove only the sound of the keyboard, but leave the system vibration, act carefully.
💡
If the system vibration slider is on but the keyboard is still silent, check if Do Not Disturb or Silent Mode is activated, which can block tactile response.
💡
System-based audio settings have the highest priority: if the vibration is turned off globally, the settings inside the applications will not work.
Setting up the built-in Gboard keyboard
The standard keyboard for most Xiaomi devices is Google's Gboard. The process of turning off vibration here has its nuances, as Google has taken these settings deep into the menu. Open any application that requires text input (such as Notes or messenger) to call the keyboard to the screen. At the top of the keyboard, find and tap the gear icon ("Keyboard Settings").
In the menu that opens, select Settings. Then scroll down to Preferences. Here you are interested in the option "Vibration when pressing keys." Move the slider to an inactive state. If you do not need to completely remove the vibration, but only make it quieter, in the same menu you can adjust the duration of the vibration by selecting the value "Short" or "Long".
It's worth noting that Gboard updates are happening through Google Play, and the interface can change. If you haven't found Preferences, look for Types or Additionals. The latest versions also offer the option to customize the vibration separately for different input languages, which can be useful for multilingual users.
- 📱 Click on the gear icon on the keyboard panel to enter the menu.
- 🔊 Go to the Preferences or Settings section inside the Gboard app.
- 🚫 Turn off the switchboard "Vibration when pressing the keys».
- ⏱️ Reduce vibration duration if necessary instead of shutting down completely.
After making the changes, try typing a test message, if the vibration has gone, it means the procedure has been successful, otherwise, check if any third-party plugin or theme that may have its own tactile response settings is activated.
Vibration control in SwiftKey and other keyboards
Many Redmi Note 10 users prefer to install alternative keyboards, such as Microsoft SwiftKey or Yandex Keyboard. The principle of turning off vibration is similar, but the paths to settings are different. SwiftKey requires you to open the application from the program menu or click on the gear icon on the keyboard itself, then select Sound and Vibration.
In the SwiftKey menu, you'll see a slider called "Push Vibration." Make sure it's turned off. The keyboard feature is that you can fine-tune the vibration force if your device supports HD Haptic technology, and you can just keep the intensity down to a minimum, keeping the impression of printing pleasant without loud humming.
For keyboards from Yandex or GO Keyboard, the algorithm is similar: look for the Sound, Profile, or Input settings section. Often, developers hide these options in the Advanced Settings subsection. If you use a rare or specialized keyboard, refer to the documentation of a particular application, since the location of interface elements may be non-standard.
Why can the vibration return on its own?
Remember that when you install a third-party keyboard, Android may ask for additional permissions to access your input data. Make sure you trust the app developer, especially if you use it to enter passwords and sensitive information.
Work modes and profile "Do not disturb"
MIUI offers user-friendly profiles that allow you to control sound and vibration depending on the situation. For example, Do Not Disturb (DND) completely blocks all notifications and tactile response. You can activate it manually through the control center or set up automatic activation on a schedule.
To set this mode, go to Settings → Sound and Vibration → Do Not Disturb. You can create rules that will automatically turn off the keyboard vibration at a certain time or when you are in a specific place (geozone), which is ideal for those who forget to switch their phone to a silent besh mode before bedtime or in meetings.
Also worth mentioning is Game Turbo, which is activated when games are launched, and it allows you to turn off the vibration of the keyboard so that it does not interfere with the gameplay, even if it is on in normal mode, which is true for gamers using Redmi Note 10 for mobile gaming.
| Mode of work | Effect on keyboard vibration | Where to set up |
|---|---|---|
| Normal. | App settings are working | Keyboard settings |
| Silent | Vibration's off completely. | Control Center / Side button |
| Don't disturb. | Vibration disabled (by default) | Settings → Sound → Do not disturb |
| Game mode | Can block vibration. | Security Annex → Game Turbo |
⚠️ Note: Do Not Disturb mode may stop receiving calls and messages from selected contacts unless you set exceptions.
Use of widgets and quick settings
For quick switching of sound and vibration modes on Xiaomi Redmi Note 10, it is convenient to use widgets on the desktop or tiles in the notification curtain. You can add the widget “Sound Switch” to the main screen, which allows you to change modes with one touch: “Sound”, “Vibration”, “No Sound”.
To add a widget, press the empty space on your desktop, select "Widgets" and find "Tools" or "Systems" in the list. Drag the desired element to the screen. Now, when you need to quickly remove the vibration of the keyboard in a public place, you do not have to climb into the deep settings menus - just one tap on the widget.
Alternatively, a sidebar (Second Space or floating window) is used if it supports media management, but a standard widget is the most reliable and quickest way to manage audio profiles in the MIUI shell.
Solving problems with sticking settings
Sometimes users are faced with a situation where, after turning off the vibration in the settings, it continues to work. This can be caused by a software failure or a conflict of processes. First of all, try to restart the device. This is a standard but effective procedure that cleans temporary files and restarts the system services responsible for tactile response.
If the reboot didn't help, try clearing the keyboard app cache. Go to Settings» → «Annexes» → «All apps," find your keyboard (like Gboard)." Click "Clear» → «Clear cache. Don't confuse it with Clear all data, as it will delete your vocabulary and input history.
In rare cases, the problem may be that system files are damaged after a failed update, which can be a good thing if you reset your settings to factory settings, but it is an extreme measure that requires prior backup of all important data.
☑️ Checklist of diagnostics
Also make sure that the phone does not have “magnetic” cases or accessories that can create a false vibration sensation or interfere with the operation of the vibrator, although this is more a physical defect than a software one.
