How to Remove Vibration When Typing on Xiaomi Redmi Note 10S: The Complete Guide

Why the keyboard vibration on the Redmi Note 10S can be annoying and how to fix it

The tactile return of the keyboard on the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10S is a feature that is not popular with everyone. For some users, the slight vibration when pressing the buttons creates a pleasant “response” feeling, for others it becomes a source of constant discomfort, especially when typing is long: chats in messengers, work documents or even simple search queries can turn into a test if the vibration seems too intense or inappropriate.

In this article, we’ll look at all the possible ways to turn off keyboard vibration, from standard MIUI settings to hidden developer settings and third-party apps. It’s important to understand that on the Redmi Note 10S (as on other Xiaomi smartphones), vibration can be controlled at several levels: system, keyboard level and even individual applications, and we’ll look at each of them so you can choose the most convenient option for you.

Before we get to the instructions, it’s worth clarifying: keyboard vibration and system vibration (such as when touching the screen or notifications) are different settings. Disabling one does not always affect the other. If your goal is to remove only the returns when typing, follow our recommendations below.

Method 1: Turn off vibration in the settings of the standard MIUI keyboard

The Redmi Note 10S has either a Gboard keyboard (from Google) or a Xiaomi keyboard (depending on the region and version of MIUI) installed by default, and you can turn off the vibration directly in the app settings. Let's look at both.

If you have Gboard:

1. Open any field to enter text (such as in messages or browser) to make the keyboard appear.
2. Press the gear icon (⚙️) In the top panel of the keyboard - it is quick access to settings.
3. Select Settings → Sound when pressed.
4. Turn off the Vibration switch when pressed.

If you have a Xiaomi keyboard:

• 📱 Go to Settings. → Additionally. → Language and input.
• 🔧 Tap on the current keyboard. → Keyboard Xiaomi.
• 🔔 Find the Vibration and Sound section and turn off the Vibration option when pressed.

After these actions, the vibration should disappear immediately. If the changes do not apply, try restarting the keyboard (for example, closing and reopening the application for typing).

Method 2: Global vibration shutdown in MIUI settings

If the keyboard vibration is not turned off through the app settings, the problem may be system settings. The Redmi Note 10S has a separate section for controlling tactile return that can override keyboard settings.

To turn off the vibration completely:

1. Open the Settings. → Sound and vibration.
2. Scroll down to the Vibration block.
3. Turn off the Vibration option when touching.

⚠️ Warning: This will turn off vibration not only for the keyboard, but for all system interactions (for example, when you click on buttons in the menu or swipes.

Some versions of MIUI (e.g. MIUI 12.5 and later) may have a separate keyboard vibration switch in the same section.

Method 3: Using Developer Mode to Fine-Tune

If standard methods don't work, you can try turning off the vibration through the developer's settings, which is suitable for power users, as it requires activation of the hidden menu.

How to turn on the developer mode on Redmi Note 10S:

1. Go to Settings. → The phone.
2. Find the MIUI version string and tap it 7 times in a row.
3. After the notification appears, you become a developer! return to the main settings menu.

Now, a new Developer section will appear in the settings, open it and do the following:

• 🔍 Scroll down to the text input block.
• 📱 Find the option to turn off vibration when you enter (or similar in meaning) and activate it.
• 🔄 If this option is not available, try disabling Vibration animation or tactile recoil.

⚠️ Warning: Be careful in the developer menu! Change other settings (e.g., Debug by USB Inactive apps can affect the stability of the smartphone.

Method 4: Turning off vibration for specific applications

Sometimes the keyboard vibration only appears in individual applications (such as WhatsApp, Telegram or Instagram), in which case you can turn it off selectively without affecting the system settings.

How to do this:

• 📲 Open the settings of the desired application (for example, in Telegram: Settings) → Notifications and sounds → Vibration).
• 🔔 Turn off the option of Vibration on input or Tactile recoil.
• 🔄 If this option is not available, check the keyboard settings inside the application (sometimes they are duplicated).

For WhatsApp, this is the way to go: ⚙️ → Notifications → Tones and vibrations → In some messengers (for example, Viber), you can't turn off the keyboard vibration, you have to use system methods.

💡

If the app doesn’t have a separate setting for the keyboard vibration, try turning off all vibrations for that app in the system settings: Settings → Applications → [App name] → Notifications → Vibration.

Method 5: Install a third-party keyboard without vibration

If none of these methods work, the radical solution is to install an alternative keyboard, and many third-party applications (such as SwiftKey, Fleksy, or Chroom) allow you to completely disable the vibration or offer more flexible settings.

How to install and configure a third-party keyboard:

1. Download the keyboard from Google Play (like SwiftKey).
2. After installation, go to Settings → System → Language and input → Current keyboard.
3. Select the keyboard installed and activate it.
4. Open the new keyboard settings and turn off vibration in the Sound and Vibration section.

Advantages of this method:

• 🎛️ More flexible settings (you can turn off vibrations, sounds, change the topic).
• 🔒 No dependence on system updates MIUI.
• 📱 Support for gestures and additional functions (e.g. swipe input).

⚠️ Note: Some third-party keyboards collect your input data to improve predictions. If privacy is important, choose apps with a transparent policy (such as AnySoftKeyboard or OpenBoard).

💡

Third-party keyboards are the best option if the MIUI system settings don’t allow you to turn off vibration. They also offer additional features that aren’t available in the standard Xiaomi keyboard.

What to do if the vibration of the keyboard returns after the update

Many Redmi Note 10S users are faced with the fact that after the MIUI update, the vibration of the keyboard is turned on again, this is due to the fact that some firmware resets the default settings.

• 🔄 Before updating, record the current settings (photograph the screen with the keyboard settings).
• 📱 After the update, check the settings in Sound and Vibration and Language and Input.
• 🔧 If the vibration is back, repeat the steps from Method 1 or Method 3.

On MIUI 13 firmware and later, the keyboard vibration can be controlled through the new "Tactile Effects" section in the audio settings. If you don't find the usual options, check this section.

If the problem is repeated regularly, consider turning off automatic updates. MIUI (Although this is not recommended from a security perspective. → The phone. → Updating the system → ⚙️ → Auto Update and Disable the Option.
