1. Disable keyboard sound through standard MIUI settings

The easiest way is to use the built-in system settings, which works on all Xiaomi smartphones, including Redmi, POCO and Black Shark, as long as they run on the original MIUI firmware without deep modifications.

Here's the step-by-step instruction:

1. Open the Settings app (the gear icon on the home screen).
2. Go to the section Sound and vibration.
3. Scroll down to the System Sounds block.
4. Find the keystroke sound switch and move it to the off position.

If you have a MIUI 14, the path may be slightly different: Settings → Sound → Additional settings → Keyboard sounds. On some models (such as the Xiaomi 13 Ultra), this item may be hidden under the name Tactile Feedback – do not confuse with vibration!

⚠️ Note: On some firmware, the keyboards may be reset after the phone restarts. If this happens, repeat the procedure or use alternative methods in the following sections.

2. disable keyboard sounds (Gboard, SwiftKey, MIUI Keyboard)

If the standard method didn’t work, the problem could lie in the settings of the keyboard itself. Many Xiaomi users use Gboard (a keyboard from Google) or SwiftKey, where the tap sounds are controlled separately from the system settings.

For Gboard:

1. Open any field to enter text (e.g., in Messages).
2. Tap the gear icon on the keyboard to open the settings.
3. Select Settings → Sound when pressed and turn off the slider.

For the standard MIUI Keyboard:

1. Press the comma on the keyboard and select Settings.
2. Go to the Supplementary → Sound and vibration.

If you can still hear sounds after turning off, try clearing the keyboard cache:

1. Go to Settings → Applications → Application Management.
2. Find your keyboard (such as Gboard or MIUI Keyboard).
3. Press Warehouse. → Clear the cache.

3.Use of Do Not Disturb mode for temporary shutdown

If you need to quickly turn off all sounds (including keys) for a certain period, use Do Not Disturb (DND) mode, which is convenient when you are in a meeting or in a quiet place, but do not want to fully configure the phone.

How to turn on:

1. Swipe down from the top edge of the screen to open the notification bar.
2. Find the Do Not Disturb icon (usually depicted as a crossed bell) and tap it.
3. For more flexible settings, press this icon and select Settings → Rules where you can configure exceptions.

⚠️ Note: In the Do Not Disturb mode, not only key sounds, but also important notifications (calls) can be blocked, SMS). Set exceptions in Settings → Don't disturb. → Exceptions if critical.

Disable sounds via ADB (for advanced users)

If standard methods don’t work, you can use ADB (Android Debug Bridge), a tool for deep customization of Android, which is suitable for users who are not afraid of the command line and are ready to dig a little into the system settings.

Before you start, make sure that:

• 🔧 Your PC is installed on your PC. ADB-Drivers (can be downloaded from Google website).
• 📱 The phone's debugging on. USB (Settings → The phone. → Version. MIUI — Tap 7 times, then return to the additional → For developers → Debugging by USB).
• 🔌 The phone is connected to the PC via cable (preferably the original one).

Now run the following commands in the terminal (or Command Prompt on Windows):

adb shell settings put system sound_effects_enabled 0

This command disables all system sound effects, including keys. If you want to bring back sounds, use:

adb shell settings put system sound_effects_enabled 1

If after completing the command, the key sounds remain, try also to turn off the keyboard sounds separately:

adb shell settings put system haptic_feedback_enabled 0

⚠️ Attention: Misuse of the right ADB Do not change other system settings unless you are sure of their purpose.

5. Resetting the sound settings to factory

If none of these methods worked, you might have a problem with the sound settings, and then you might want to reset the audio back to the factory settings, and it doesn't affect your data (photos, contacts, apps), but it will bring all the audio settings back to the boxy state.

How to perform the reset:

1. Go to Settings → Sounds and vibrations.
2. In the upper right corner, press three dots (⋮) and select Resetting Settings.
3. Confirm the action (a password or pattern lock may be required).

After discharge:

• 🔊 Keys will be turned off by default (on most Xiaomi models).
• 🎵 All call and notification tunes will return to standard.
• 📳 The vibration settings will also reset.

💡

Resetting your audio settings doesn't delete your data, but it returns all audio profiles to factory profiles, and it's a safe way to get your phone back to normal if the keys are not behaving properly.

If you reset the keys again, check if you have a third-party application that manages the sounds (such as Volume Booster or Sound Assistant) installed, which can override system settings.

2. Make sure the phone doesn’t have a child mode or guest mode on it – they may limit setting changes.
