Gboard on Android 14 QPR3: Fine-tuning keypress vibration fades away

Android 14 QPR3 Beta 2
Android 14 QPR3 Beta 2

The accuracy of the description is of primary importance for most Android users. Furthermore, the right side of the hardware keyboard is the point that matters most to them. Wherever you find yourself on Android 14 Developer Preview (QPR3) and installed the latest Gboard beta, it’s very possible that you got a modification that changed the way your keyboard touch-types.

Previously, Gboard included “vibrate power on key presses in the app itself.” By doing this you can determine how accurately the machine produces the entirety of the vibration response it produces with each key you press on the keyboard. I functionally got rid of the deep ecosystem it was using.

In contrast, Google will use the keyboard vibration option instead of a separate button that will work on all keyboards. This technical flaw manifests itself because you can only enable or disable keyboard vibration completely without fine adjustment of its intensity range. However, this dedication can result in some taking away that can be used to customize the touch of the keyboard and keep it as close as possible to what suits you.

Because it is in beta, the update for Gboard is still considered experimental, and, therefore, Google may launch a way to modify how vibration intensity works on blogs before the update is officially released. Nevertheless, this may be an alternative perspective that leads to a functionality that is removed entirely.

The exclusion of a particular amount of tapping is softening, making it less satisfactory for users who would instead prefer a more distinct tone and register of feedback. Furthermore, this change has only been implemented on Gboard-beta and Android 14 versions and that is why the released versions of those platforms will still be measured using the traditional vibration strength control.
