How does that even work? Like, all the keys are generally manufactured to the same standards such that any physical difference in keys causing different sounds is a combination of user damage and random factory errors, no?

Probably, but it's definitely there. I managed to tell that one of my friend's pin had the same key twice in it because i heard the same kind of sound twice.
