How to remove the vibrating from the keyboard on Xiaomi: the complete guide

Keyboard vibration on Xiaomi smartphones is one of those features that either make it quietly easier to interact with the device or annoying to the point of frenzy. If youโ€™re in the second category of users, this article will help you figure out how to completely disable tactile returns when typing โ€” whether itโ€™s standard MIUI Keyboard, Googleโ€™s Gboard or third-party apps.

The problem is that the manufacturer hid the vibration settings in different menus depending on the firmware version and the phone model, and after the MIUI updates, the paths to the parameters often change, and some options disappear altogether. We tested all the current methods on devices from 2023 to 2026 (including Xiaomi 14, Redmi Note 13 Pro+ and POCO F6) and collected working solutions from basic to hidden.

Attention: If the keyboard vibration is accompanied by input delays or spontaneous presses, the problem may lie deeper in a touchscreen malfunction or application conflict.

1.Switch off vibration in the standard MIUI keyboard

The standard MIUI Keyboard (aka com.miui.mint.latin) has built-in vibration settings, but it's not always easy to find them. In the latest versions of MIUI 14/15, the path has changed, and now the option is hidden in the Sound and Vibration menu.

  1. Open the Settings. โ†’ Sounds and vibrations.
  2. Scroll down to the System Sounds and Vibration block and select Vibration when pressed.
  3. Turn off the keyboard vibration slider (on some devices, the option is called Tactile Return on Entering).

If this is not the case, try an alternative route:

  • ๐Ÿ“ฑ Through Keyboard Settings: Open any text field โ†’ tap on the icon โš™๏ธ keyboard โ†’ Settings MIUI Keyboard โ†’ Additionally. โ†’ Press vibration.
  • โš ๏ธ On the old versions. MIUI: The path may look like settings. โ†’ All settings โ†’ System and device โ†’ Language and input โ†’ Current keyboard โ†’ Settings โ†’ Vibration.
