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

Vibration of the keyboard on the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 can be a useful feature for those who are accustomed to tactile feedback. However, over time, many users begin to experience discomfort: constant shaking of the body annoys, reduces the speed of printing and even speeds up battery drain by 5-7% per day of active use, especially when you are talking long chats or working with documents.

In this article, we’ll look at all the ways you can turn off vibrations, from standard MIUI settings to hidden system keyboard settings. You’ll learn how to completely remove or customize the tactile response, why vibrations can spontaneously turn on after updates, and what to do if the keyboard ignores your settings. The instructions are relevant for all versions of the Redmi Note 10 (including Pro, Pro Max and 5G) based on MIUI 12-14.

Why Keyboard Vibration May Get In The Way: 5 Real Reasons

Before we get to the settings, it’s worth understanding exactly where vibration becomes a problem, and here are the most common scenarios that Redmi Note 10 owners face:

• 📱 Battery discharge: the vibrating motor consumes energy even with short-term pressing. When you use instant messengers, it can eat up to a maximum of two hours. 100-150 m-hour.
• ⚡ Slowing down printing: due to vibration delay (100-150 ms) fingers stumble when dialing quickly, especially on small screens.
• 🔊 Noise in public places: loud rattling of the body can be heard in quiet rooms (lectures, talks, libraries).
• 🎮 Conflict with Games: In Dynamic Games (PUBG, Call of Duty keyboard vibration can overlap with game returns, creating chaos.
• 🛠️ Wear mechanism: constant operation of the vibromotor theoretically reduces its life (although in practice it is unlikely).

Interestingly, according to a survey of Xiaomi users, 63% turn off the keyboard vibration in the first 3 months of using a smartphone, while 22% return it back after six months because they are used to “empty” pressing.

Method 1: Turn off vibration in a standard MIUI keyboard

If you use Xiaomi’s native keyboard (aka MIUI Keyboard or Xiaomi Keyboard), you can turn off the vibration right in its settings, which works on all versions of MIUI 12 to 14, including global and Chinese firmware.

Here's the step-by-step instruction:

1. Open any application that has a field to enter text (such as Messages or Notes).
2. Tap the input field to make the keyboard appear.
3. Press the gear icon (⚙️) in the top row of the keyboard to open the settings.
4. Select Sound and Vibration (or Feedback in English).
5. Translate the slider Vibration on keypress to the off position.
6. To save the changes, press Ready or go back.

If you don’t have a gear icon, try holding the comma (,) or space button — on some versions of MIUI, this triggers the settings menu.

⚠️ Attention: On some firmware MIUI 13 for the European region, the vibration option may be hidden in the section Additional settings → Tactile feedback. If you don't find a point, update the keyboard through Play Market.

Method 2: Set up vibration in Google Keyboard

Many Redmi Note 10 users prefer Google’s Gboard over a standard keyboard, in which case the vibration-off algorithm will be different, and Gboard’s main advantage is that it has more flexible tactile feedback settings, including vibration adjustment.

To remove the vibration in Gboard:

1. Open any text field and call the keyboard.
2. Click on the three-point icon (⋮) keyboard.
3. Select Settings (Settings).
4. Go to the Preferences section.
5. Press the Vibration when you press keys (Keypress vibration).
6. Choose No Vibration or adjust the intensity.

Gboard also has the option of Sound when pressed – it can be turned off in the same section if you are annoyed by the sound signals.

⚠️ Warning: If it still works after the vibration is turned off in Gboard, check the settings for Android special features. Sometimes the vibration is controlled at the system level: go to Settings → Special facilities → Vibration and disable all options.

Method 3: Turn off vibration at system level (for all keyboards)

If you use the side of the keyboard (like SwiftKey, Fleksy or Chroom), or previous methods didn’t work, you can block vibration at the operating system level. This is a radical way that will turn off tactile feedback in all applications, including games and system notifications.

Instructions for MIUI 12-14:

1. Open the phone settings.
2. Go to the Sound and Vibration section.
3. Choose the Vibration (Vibration).
4. Turn off the slider Vibration when touching (Touch vibration).
5. To completely disable, also deactivate Type Vibration.

This method is guaranteed to remove vibration in all keyboards, but has a side effect: it will lose recoil when unlocking the screen, pressing system buttons and in some games. If you need selective setting, you better go back to Method 1 or 2.

💡

If the keyboard becomes less responsive after the vibration is turned off, try enabling Keypress popup in the keyboard settings. Visual feedback will help compensate for the lack of tactile.

What to do if the vibration returns after the MIUI update

Many Redmi Note 10 users face a problem: after updating the MIUI firmware, the keyboard vibration settings are reset, which is due to the fact that some system applications (including the keyboard) are updated separately from the OS and can overwrite user preferences.

Here’s how to prevent the vibration from turning on automatically:

• 🔄 Turn off auto-renew keyboard: go to Play Market, find MIUI Keyboard or Gboard, press three dots → Turn off auto-update.
• 📥 Install the old version of the keyboard: if after the update there were bugs, download APK previous version from a trusted source (e.g. APKMirror).
• 🔧 Use it. ADB-command to fix settings (requires a computer and debugging on the USB): adb shell settings put system haptic_feedback_enabled 0 This command completely shuts down vibration at the system level.
• 🛡️ Create a backup of settings through Settings → Additionally. → Backup (include System settings).

If the vibration is activated after a major MIUI update (for example, version 13 to version 14), you may need to reset the keyboard settings.

1. Go to the keyboard settings (as in Method 1 or 2).
2. Find Reset Settings or Restore Default Values.
3. Confirm the action and immediately turn off the vibration until the system has applied the standard settings.

Alternative solutions: if the vibration does not turn off

In rare cases, standard methods fail due to software failures or conflicts with other applications, and here’s what you can do if the vibration of the keyboard on the Redmi Note 10 stubbornly doesn’t want to disappear:

• 🔍 Check application rights: some keyboards (especially Chinese) require permission to vibrate. → Annexes → Permit management → Vibration and disable access for the keyboard.
• 🧹 Clear the keyboard cache: Go to Settings → Annexes → All the applications. MIUI Keyboard or Gboard. Press Storage. → Clear the cache.

Switch to another keyboard.

SwiftKey

Make a reset of the settings.

Settings → About the phone → Resetting settings

Resetting all settings

If none of the methods worked, the problem may be due to a hardware failure of the vibrator motor, in which case the vibration will be felt even when the screen is turned off (for example, when charging), the solution is to contact the Xiaomi service center for diagnosis.

💡

Before radical measures (dumping, ADB-commands) always back up your data. Keyboard vibration is not a critical problem, and solving it is not worth the risk of losing information.
