How to Remove Vibration on Xiaomi Keyboard: The Complete Guide

Xiaomi’s current smartphones, which use MIUI or HyperOS shells, offer users a wide range of tactile feedback. Type-based vibrations are designed to confirm every touch of the screen, creating a sense of working with physical buttons. However, the constant shaking of the device in the hands can cause discomfort, especially during long-term correspondence or at night, when it is important to keep quiet.

Many owners of Redmi and POCO devices face a situation where standard audio settings do not affect the intensity of the vibration of the keyboard, this is because the management of tactile response is often placed in separate menus of system settings or hidden inside the parameters of a particular application for input. Understanding the logic of the Android system in conjunction with the shell from Xiaomi will help to quickly solve this problem.

In this article, we will discuss in detail all possible ways to turn off vibration, from system settings to fine-tuning third-party keyboards, you will learn where to look for hidden switches and how to make the typing process as comfortable and silent as possible.

System Vibration settings in MIUI and HyperOS

The first place to go if you want to remove the vibration on the Xiaomi keyboard is the global settings of the operating system. The MIUI shell has its own menu hierarchy, which may differ from stock Android. It regulates the general level of tactile response of the system, which often affects the operation of on-screen keyboards.

To access the basic settings, you need to open the Settings app and find the section that handles sounds and haptics. The path may vary depending on the firmware version, but the logic remains the same: look for the Sound and Vibration section. Within this menu, there is often a separate Vibration at touch item that is responsible for the interface's response to any clicks.

⚠️ Warning: Disabling system vibration of touches can make navigation on the menu less obvious, as the response of not only the keyboard, but also the control buttons will disappear.

If your goal is to remove only the vibration of the print, but leave the system in response, this method may be too radical, in which case you should immediately go to the settings of the specific input application, but to completely disable the tactile sensations throughout the system, this step is fundamental.

• 🔹 Open the smartphone settings.
• 🔹 Go to the section Sound and vibration.
• 🔹 Find the Vibration slider when touching and turn it off.
• 🔹 Check for the presence of the keyboard Vibration in the advanced sound settings.

In some versions of HyperOS firmware, developers have added more detailed controls that allow you to separately adjust the vibration for the system, calls and text input. If you see these options, use them to point-out unnecessary functions without affecting other aspects of the device.

Turning off vibration in the standard Gboard keyboard

Most of today’s Xiaomi smartphones sold globally preinstalled Google’s Gboard keyboard, one of the most popular text-input apps that has its own, system-independent vibration settings, and this is where the most common solution lies if system settings don’t work.

There are several ways to get into the Gboard settings menu, the fastest is to press and hold a comma or an emoji button on the keyboard itself, then select the gear icon, and you can access the settings through the phone's Settings menu by finding the Additional Settings section and selecting Language and input.

Inside the keyboard menu, you need to find the section that controls your input preferences or settings. Depending on the version of the application, this item may be called Settings, Preferences or Keyboard Settings. The switch you're looking for is usually called Press Vibration or Vibro Response.

• 🔸 Run any application with a text field.
• 🔸 Click on the gear icon in the top line of the keyboard.
• 🔸 Select Preferences or Settings.
• 🔸 Find the Vibration switch when pressed and turn it to the “Off” position».

It’s worth noting that the latest updates to Gboard have not only turned off the vibration, but also adjusted its duration. If you don’t need a full shutdown but annoy you with a long response, try reducing the vibration time to a minimum of 0 ms or 10 ms.

Setting vibration in the Sogou keyboard for Xiaomi

Devices designed for the markets of China, India and some other regions, as well as older Redmi models, often feature the Sogou keyboard.It is deeply integrated into the MIUI shell and has its own settings interface that can confuse the inexperienced user.

To control Sogou's settings, you need to call its menu, which is usually done by long-term clicking on the settings icon in the top bar of the keyboard or through the menu button if it's on. Unlike Gboard, the settings here can be broken down into tabs, and the option we want is often in the Sound and Vibration or Input settings section.

Sogou's interface can be partially localized or have specific designations. Look for a slider with a vibrating phone or a Vibration signature. Moving the slider to the far left position will completely disable the tactile response when you print.

If you use a third-party theme for your keyboard, it can force vibration to be turned on, so try changing the theme to a standard one or checking the settings inside the Sogou theme section, which is a common reason when settings seem to be off, but the vibration continues to work.

Managing response in third-party keyboards SwiftKey and others

Users who have installed alternative keyboards, such as Microsoft SwiftKey, Yandex Keyboard or Grammarly, should look for settings within these applications themselves.

In SwiftKey, for example, you need to go to the Sound and Vibration section of the keyboard settings menu, and here you will find separate sliders for adjusting the duration of vibration and volume of sound. A unique feature of SwiftKey is the ability to adjust vibration for different actions, for example, a separate response for autocorrection or predictive set.

⚠️ Note: When you install a new keyboard, Android may reset your vibration preferences to standard ones. Always check your settings again after you change the input application.

For a Yandex keyboard, the path is to click on the menu icon (three dots or a gear), select Settings, then Sound and Vibration. Here you can not only turn off the vibration, but also choose the type if this option is supported by the device. Some users prefer to leave a light vibration, because it helps to type faster without looking at the screen.

• 🔹 Open the settings of the installed keyboard.
• 🔹 Find the section Sound and vibration or preferences.
• 🔹 Adjust the intensity slider or turn off the function completely.
• 🔹 Save the changes and test the typing.

If you use multiple keyboards and switch between them, remember that each keyboard has a different setting, and if you turn off the vibration in Gboard, you won't affect SwiftKey, and vice versa, you'll have to do the setup procedure for each application separately.

Using Do Not Disturb Mode for Temporary Shutdown

There is a scenario where the user does not need to turn off the vibration, but only temporarily silence all sounds and tactile signals, for example, during a meeting, in the cinema or at night.

Activating this mode through the notification curtain (swipe from top to bottom) allows you to instantly turn off all sound and vibration notifications, including keyboard response. In the mode settings, you can schedule it in detail so that the phone goes into silent mode automatically at a given time.

To set up automation, go to Settings → Sound and Vibration → Don’t Disturb. You can set time slots, like 23:00 to 7:00, or tie mode to calendar events, a convenient way to keep your keyboard settings for daytime, but avoid annoying vibrations at night.

💡

Set up automatic activation of the “Do Not Disturb” mode on a schedule so that the phone itself goes into quiet mode at night and does not wake you up with the vibration of messages or keyboard.

It’s important to understand that Do Not Disturb mode blocks not only the keyboard, but also incoming calls and app notifications. Make sure that important contacts are added in the exceptions if you want to continue receiving emergency calls even in silence.

Additional methods and resetting of input settings

In rare cases, the vibration can persist even after all the settings are made, which can be caused by a software failure or a configuration conflict, in which case it helps to clear the cache of the keyboard application or reset it to the factory settings.

To perform the reset, go to Settings → Apps → All apps. Find your keyboard (like Gboard or Sogou) in the list. Select Memory and click Clear (or Reset if available).This will return the keyboard to its original state, where the vibration can be turned off by default.

It’s also worth checking for updates to the keyboard app in the Google Play store or GetApps. Developers often release patches that fix bugs with improper vibration work on certain Xiaomi smartphones.

⚠️ Warning: Resetting your keyboard settings can remove your personal vocabulary and the history of frequently used words.Be prepared to retrain your keyboard for your type style of printing.

If nothing works, you can try temporarily installing another keyboard to check if the problem is system-specific or application-specific, which will help to locate the source of the malfunction and find the most suitable solution for your device.

💡

Integrated approach: a combination of system settings, application configuration and silence modes allows you to fully control the tactile response of the Xiaomi smartphone.
