How to Turn Off Keyboard Vibration on Android

From sending short texts to a friend, typing an email, or surfing the internet, we use the virtual keyboard on our Android devices. Android keyboards have haptic feedback, or keyboard vibration in current models. However, many users may find it an inconvenience that hinders their typing experience. Therefore, this guide will explain how to turn off keyboard vibration on Android.

How to Turn Off Keyboard Vibration on Android

The haptic feedback is intended to simulate the pressing of keys on a virtual keyboard. But, it consumes your device’s battery and makes typing a little noisy. However, fortunately, you can disable this functionality by changing a few app settings. Here are the ways to turn off the keyboard vibration:

Option 1: Via Settings App

Although keypress vibration ensures the pressing of the keys on a virtual keyboard, it could be a nuisance when you want to type in silence. Therefore, you can easily alter the keyboard features via the settings app. Most Androids have the Google keyboard as default. You have to follow the steps below to change settings for a GBoard via the settings app:

1. On your device, access the Settings app.
2. Tap Additional Settings, then select the Language & Input option from the list.
3. Now, navigate to Manage Keyboards and select GBoard.
4. Tap Preferences from the opened menu.
5. Toggle off the button for Haptic Feedback on Keypress under the Keypress section.

Option 2: Via Keyboard Settings (GBoard)

Another way to alter keyboard settings is directly through the keyboard itself. It is a shortcut to access the GBoard settings. However, it is similar to the first method in later steps. Here are the steps to follow for this method:

1. Open any app that requires typing to open the GBoard.
2. Tap the Settings icon (cogwheel icon) in the toolbar above the keys.
3. Choose Preferences from the menu.
4. Under the Keypress section, look for the Haptic Feedback on the Keypress option.
5. Turn off the toggle button for the option.
