How to remove the keyboard vibration on Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro: the complete guide

Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro is one of the most popular smartphones among gamers and active users thanks to the powerful Snapdragon 860 processor and high refresh rate of the screen. However, many owners face an annoying vibration of the keyboard when typing. Even short messages can become a test if every clicked character is accompanied by a tactile response.

In this article, we’ll look at all the ways you can disable your vibration response, from standard MIUI settings to hidden developer settings, how to deactivate vibration for the system keyboard, Gboard, and other third-party applications, and what to do if you reset after the update, and pay special attention to the nuances of MIUI firmware 12, 13, and 14, as the location of the options may vary.

Important: Keyboard vibration response is not just a matter of comfort, but also battery consumption. According to tests, constant microvibration can reduce battery life by 3 to 5% in active instant messenger mode, so turning off this feature is important for those who want to extend the life of the Poco X3 Pro battery.

1.Switch off vibration in the standard MIUI keyboard

First, let's try the most obvious way, through the system keyboard settings, and in MIUI, the path to these settings may vary depending on the firmware version, but the general logic is maintained.

Go to: Settings → Additional settings → Language and input → Current keyboard (MIUI Keyboard) → Settings → Sound and vibration

Here you will see three key switches:

• 🔕 Vibration when pressed - responsible for the tactile response when touching the keys.
• 🔊 Keys sound - audio accompaniment of the set (you can turn off in parallel).
• 🎵 Sound when removed - vibration / sound when erasing symbols.

If your version of MIUI doesn't have "Vibration on press," then the keyboard uses the global system vibration settings, in which case you go to the system settings section.

💡

If after updating MIUI settings reset, try clearing the keyboard cache in Settings → Applications → Application Management → Keyboard → Storage → Clear the cache.

2. Vibration setting in Gboard (Google Keyboard)

Gboard is the most popular alternative to the standard Poco X3 Pro keyboard, and its settings are more flexible, but the way to do it is not always intuitive.

1. Open any field to enter text (for example, WhatsApp or Telegram).
2. Click on the icon. ⚙️ (gear) in the upper panel of the Gboard.
3. Select Settings → Sound and vibration.
4. Turn off the switches: 📳 Vibration when you press the keys 🔙 Vibration upon removal

If your Gboard doesn’t have Vibration, upgrade to the latest version on Google Play. Older versions (up to 10.6) may not support this option on some Xiaomi devices.

3. Global Vibration Shutdown in MIUI System

If the keyboard vibration response is not turned off through the application settings, the problem may lie in the global parameters of MIUI. In some firmware (especially MIUI 12.5 and 13), the keyboard inherits the vibration settings from the system.

To completely disable the tactile response:

1. Go to Settings. → Sound and vibration.
2. Select Vibration (in some versions, Vibration upon touch).
3. Turn off all vibration-related switches: 📲 Vibration upon touch (affects the keyboard) 🔑 Vibration when unlocked 🔔 Vibration at notifications (does not affect the keyboard, but it is useful to turn off to save battery)

In MIUI 14, the path has changed: you now need to go to Settings → Display → Vibration and Tactile Response and turn off the option “Vibration when pressed on screen” This setting controls the vibration response for all interface elements, including the keyboard.

4.Switch off vibration through Do Not Disturb and Saving Charge modes

If you need to temporarily remove the vibration response (for example, overnight or during an important event), you can use the built-in MIUI modes:

The most radical way is to use Extreme Charge Saving mode, which not only removes the vibration response, but also extends the Poco X3 Pro’s life by 20 to 30 percent. However, in this mode, many background processes (including messenger synchronization) will be suspended.

💡

Do Not Disturb is the fastest way to turn off the keyboard vibration without deep settings, but it blocks all notifications, which is not always convenient.

5.Use of ADB-commands to force the vibration to shut down

If the standard methods do not work, you can resort to ADB-This is a way for advanced users to connect the smartphone to the computer, and the advantage of this is that it bypasses the limitations. MIUI It is guaranteed to shut down vibration at the system level.

3. Enter the command to check the connection: Adb devices must appear serial number of your device.
4. Turn off vibration when touching: adb shell settings put global haptic_feedback_enabled 0
5. To turn off the vibration of the keyboard, additionally perform: adb shell settings put system haptic_feedback_enabled 0
6. Reboot your smartphone: adb reboot
