Why is the typing noise so much higher in this model compared to the regular K55 RGB Pro?

Hey there,

Thanks for reaching out to us with your question.

The Corsair K55 RGB PRO XT and the Corsair K55 RGB PRO are quiet keyboards with rubber dome switches. Our tests don’t identify either as being much louder than the other.

That said, the Corsair K55 RGB PRO XT is on a new test bench version (1.2), which has an updated test methodology for determining the Typing Noise and provides measurements in DbA, while the older Corsair K55 RGB is on an older test bench (1.0) which relied on a subjective determination only. That said, in both cases, our tests found both keyboards to be very quiet.

If you hear differences in the video recording volume, this may come down to differences between the recording methods for each methodology, or it may come down to manufacturing tolerances in the switches or stabilizers.

Hopefully, that helps answer your question. Have a great day.
