How to remove the vibration when typing on Xiaomi Redmi Note 10S: all ways

Why keyboard vibration is annoying and when to turn it off

Vibration response when you click on screen buttons is a feature that is not popular with everyone. On the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10S, it is activated by default in the MIUI firmware, but many users consider it unnecessary. Especially for those who type a lot, whether on messengers, social networks or when working with documents. Permanent microvibration not only distracts, but also drains the battery - albeit slightly, but combined with other backgrounds, this can reduce battery life by 5-10%.

Another problem is that the vibration on the Redmi Note 10S works even when you touch keys in games or applications where haptic feedback is not provided by developers, and this creates dissonance: for example, in a shooter, the vibration from shots is mixed with the response from clicking on the virtual chat keyboard, and fortunately, you can turn it off in several ways, both through system settings and using third-party tools.

In this article, we will discuss all the current methods for MIUI 12-14 (including global and Chinese versions of firmware), and how to return the vibration to the back if it suddenly disappeared after the update.

Method 1: Turn off vibration in MIUI settings

The most obvious and versatile method is to use built-in system options, which is suitable for all versions of MIUI, including modified builds, and the main advantage of this method is that it does not require the installation of additional applications and works even on a “clean” smartphone without root rights.

To deactivate vibration when typing:

1. Open the "Settings" (the gear icon on the home screen or in the application menu).
2. Go to the section Sound and vibration.
3. Scroll down to the Vibration block and tap it.
4. Find Vibration when pressed (or Tactile Feedback in new versions of MIUI) and move the slider to the "Off" position.

After that, the vibration will disappear in all standard applications, including the Xiaomi keyboard. However, if you use the Gboard or other third-party keyboard, its settings may ignore system settings – read about this in the next section.

Method 2: Keyboard setting (Gboard, SwiftKey, Xiaomi Keyboard)

The standard MIUI keyboard and third-party solutions like Gboard or SwiftKey have their own vibration options that don't always sync with the system ones. If it still works when typing after the vibration in the Redmi Note 10S settings is turned off, the problem is the keyboard.

Let’s take a look at the steps for each of them:

For the standard Xiaomi keyboard:

1. Open any field to enter text (for example, in Notes or Messages).
2. Slap the icon. ⚙️ Settings on the keyboard (usually located in the top row on the right).
3. Select keyboard settings → Vibration when pressed.
4. Turn off the option or set the intensity to 0%.

For Gboard (Google keyboard):

1. Start Settings → System → Language and input.
2. Slip on the Virtual Keyboard → Gboard.
3. Go to Settings. → Sound and vibration.
4. Turn off the vibration when you press the keys.

If you have another keyboard installed (like SwiftKey or Fleksy), the path to vibration settings may be different, but the logic is the same: look for a partition associated with tactile feedback or sounds.

Method 3: Use Do Not Disturb (to completely disable)

If the vibration is annoying not only when typing, but also in other scenarios (notifications, calls), you can activate the Do Not Disturb mode. It turns off all vibration and sound signals except the alarm clock, which is suitable for a temporary solution, for example, during a sleep or an important meeting.

How to activate:

1. Open the notification bar by swiping your finger from top to bottom.
2. Find the icon Do not disturb (the icon of the bell with the crossed speaker) and tap it.
3. For fine tuning, go to Settings → Sound and vibration → Do not disturb.
4. Set rules: for example, turn off vibration for 1 hour or until manually switched off.

⚠️ Note: Do Not Disturb also blocks all notifications (including calls) unless exceptions are configured. To avoid missing an important call, add the desired contacts to Exceptions via mode settings.

This method does not replace the full-fledged disabling of the keyboard vibration, but it can be useful in emergency situations, for example, if you forgot the password from the settings or the keyboard is buggy after the update.

Method 4: Reset keyboard settings (if vibration does not turn off)

Sometimes the vibration continues to work even after all the manipulations, which can be due to a failure in the keyboard settings or conflict after the MIUI update, in which cases, resetting the keyboard to the factory helps.

For the standard Xiaomi keyboard:

1. Go to Settings → Applications → Application Management.
2. Find the Xiaomi Keyboard (or MIUI Keyboard) and tap it.
3. Select Warehouse. → Clear the data.
4. Confirm the action. Attention: this will delete all user words and settings!

For Gboard:

1. Open Settings → Apps → Gboard.
2. Slip it on the vault and cash.
3. Click Clean Storage (not to be confused with Clean Cache!).

⚠️ Note: After resetting the keyboard, you may need to reconfigure the language, themes and other settings. save important texts or words from the user's dictionary in advance (if any).

If the reset didn’t work, the problem could go deeper, such as corrupted system files, in which case it’s worth considering updating the firmware or resetting the phone to factory settings (but this is a last resort).

Method 5: Update the firmware (if vibration is glitching)

Sometimes the vibration of the keyboard is inadequate after updating MIUI or installing the beta version of the firmware, for example, it can turn on on itself or work with a delay.

• 🔄 Update to the latest stable version MIUI (through settings → The phone. → Updating the system).
• 📥 Manually installing firmware through Recovery (if automatic updates don't help).
• 🧹 Clean the system cache (in Recovery, select Wipe Cache Partition).

Before updating, check the version of your firmware:

1. Open the Settings. → The phone.
2. If you see the line MIUI version, it is recommended to update if it is older than 13.0.5.

After updating, the keyboard vibration usually starts to work correctly. If the problem persists, try resetting the keyboard settings or contact Xiaomi for support.

Additional Advice and Frequent Mistakes

When you turn off the vibration on the Redmi Note 10S, users often face typical problems.

• ❌ Don’t confuse the vibration of the keyboard with the vibration of the notifications. They are set up in different sections (Sound and vibration). → Notification vibration).
• ⚡ Check the energy saving mode. In Ultra-saving mode, some vibration settings may be reset.
• 🔧 Update your keyboard. Go to Google Play and check if there are any updates for the Gboard or other keyboard you use.
• 📱 Test in Safe Mode. If the vibration disappears in Safe Mode (starts by holding the power button), the problem is in one of the installed applications.

💡

If vibration is only needed for certain applications (such as games), use the Profile Work in the Sound and Vibration settings. It allows you to flexibly customize feedback for different scenarios.

Another useful life hack: if you want to leave the vibration only for physical buttons (volume, power), but remove it for screen, use separate settings in Settings → Sound and vibration → Vibration when pressed. Here you can turn off the vibration for the System buttons separately from the Screen buttons.
