How to remove the keyboard vibration response on Xiaomi 10S Redmi

Constant vibrations when typing can be a serious irritant, especially if you are used to silence or in a public place. Owners of flagship devices such as the Xiaomi 10S often face intrusive tactile recoil that not only distracts but also consumes battery power. Eliminating this feature requires understanding the difference between system settings and the parameters of the keyboard application itself.

With MIUI, the default operating system on Redmi, several independent modules are responsible for tactile sensations, which means that simply switching a slider on one menu may not work if the second source of vibration remains active. In this article, we will discuss in detail all possible causes and ways to eliminate them, so that you can customize the gadget to your personal preferences.

We'll look at both standard methods through the shell interface and deeper settings for advanced users, and the right configuration of the vibrator will keep the interface feeling good while removing unnecessary fluctuations when printing.

Differences between system and keyboard vibration

The first step to solving this problem is to understand the architecture of tactile response in Android. Many users mistakenly believe that all types of jitters are responsible for one common switch. In fact, in Xiaomi 10S there are two main levels of control: the system, which controls navigation and system actions, and the application layer, in this case, the keyboard.

System vibration affects long-term icon clicks, confirmation of actions in menus and virtual navigation buttons, while the keyboard vibration is adjusted exclusively within the settings of the application itself to enter text, and if you turn off the vibration in the system, but leave it on in the keyboard, the phone will continue to vibrate when typing.

• 📱 System vibration controls the tactile response of the interface MIUI and long-pressed.
• ⌨️ Keyboard settings are solely responsible for responding to letters and symbols pressing.
• 🔊 Sound effects often duplicate tactile effects and require a separate switch off in the sound menu.

It's also important to consider that some third-party applications may have their own motor control priorities. However, in the case of the standard Gboard or MIUI Keyboard keyboard, settings are usually centralized, and understanding this hierarchy will help you avoid getting confused in the many menus.

Disabling vibration through MIUI system settings

The Xiaomi 10S setup should start with the global settings of the device, which is the baseline that determines the behavior of the smartphone as a whole. Even if your goal is only the keyboard, checking these settings is necessary to avoid conflicting parameters.

Go to the main settings menu and find the Sound and Vibration section, where the main sliders that control the device's motor are located, and you need to find the point that controls the tactile response when you type in, and it can be called differently in different versions of the firmware, such as "Touch Vibration" or "Tactile Response."

⚠️ Warning: Disabling system vibration can make the interface less responsive, as there will be no reaction to long clicks of the application icon.

If you want to leave the system vibrations, but you want to remove only the sound of the print, you need to be careful. Some MIUI updates have a separate switch for the keyboard in the same menu, check if you have the option "Keyboard Vibration" directly in the audio section, if not, move on to the configuration of the application itself.

Setting up the standard Gboard and MIUI keyboard

Most Redmi users use either the standard MIUI Keyboard or Google's Gboard, and the process of turning off vibrations is similar, but the paths to settings may vary. First, open any application that requires text input to make the keyboard appear.

In the keyboard toolbar, find the gear icon or four squares, and if you click on it, you'll be taken to the settings menu, you'll need the Preferences or Settings section, and that's where the keystroke vibration switch is hidden.

In Gboard, the path is this: press and hold a comma or a gummy icon, select Keyboard Settings, then Preferences. Find Vibration when you press keys and deaktivate it. For MIUI Keyboard, the path can go through the tripod icon and the Settings and Language menu.

Once you change the settings, it is recommended that you completely close the application you were typing in and reopen it, which ensures that the new configuration file is loaded correctly, and if the vibration is gone, the problem has been solved at the application level.

Vibration management in third-party keyboards

If you have an alternative keyboard installed, like SwiftKey, Yandex or TouchPal, the standard Gboard settings won't affect them. Each program has its own input processing engine and its own vibrator rules.

To turn off vibration, you need to go to the settings of a particular application through the App menu in the system or through the icon in the notification curtain. Look for sections called "Sound and vibration", "Tactile recoil" or "Feedback".

Often users forget that after installing a new keyboard, the old settings may conflict: Make sure that only one keyboard is active in the system, or check the settings of each one individually. This is especially true for Xiaomi 10S devices, where battery optimization can behave strangely with background input processes.

Use of Do Not Disturb Mode and Sound Profiles

Android offers smart ways to control sound and vibration through profiles. Do Not Disturb mode can be configured to completely ignore the keyboard tactile response, even if it is enabled in the app's settings.

To do this, go to Settings → Sound and Vibration → Do Not Disturb. In the restrictions section, check if vibration is allowed for the keyboard. You can create an automatic rule that will turn off the keyboard vibration at certain times of the day or in specific applications, such as messengers.

This method is convenient because it allows you to quickly switch between "Total Silence" and "Total Tactile Control" modes with one swipe in the notification curtain. You do not have to go into the deep settings menus every time.

Problems with updates and resetting settings

Sometimes it happens that after updating the MIUI firmware settings are confused or software bugs appear, which makes the vibration slider inactive or spontaneously turn on, in such cases, cleaning the keyboard application cache helps.

Go to Settings → Applications → All apps, find your keyboard (like Gboard). Select Memory and click Clear Cache. Don't confuse this with a complete data cleanup, or you'll lose your saved vocabulary and personal settings.

⚠️ WARNING: Completely cleaning the keyboard app data will remove all learned words and personalized vocabulary, which will take time to relearn.

If that doesn’t work, check for updates to the keyboard app itself in the Google Play or GetApps store. Developers often release patches to fix conflicts with new versions of Android. At the very least, you can try to remove keyboard updates through the app menu and install it again.

💡

Try changing the theme of the keyboard. Some visual themes in MIUI Keyboard have their own tactile response settings that can override the system.
