Wobkey sells the Rainy 75 in three versions, Lite, Standard and Pro, with the same 75% aluminum case and different parts inside. People who have settled on the board then ask whether the Pro is worth it, and "rainy 75 pro vs standard" is something they search for word for word. The parts that change are the ones you hear, so the clearest way to decide is to listen to both.
Both boards are in the Mechvibes library as community sound packs, so you can hear them before you buy. We have not used these keyboards ourselves; the facts below come from their makers' pages, linked.

How they sound
Both Rainy 75 packs record HMX Violet linear switches, the switch Wobkey fits to the Lite and Standard. Their makers describe them in different words: Rainy 75 by -error-hrik- as thocky and creamy, and Rainy 75 as clacky and thocky.
Two of the three Pro packs record Kailh Cocoa switches, one of the two switches Wobkey lists for the Pro. WOB Rainy 75 PRO (FR4 + Kailh Cocoa) is described as creamy, and it is the pack people opened most of all five. Kailh Cocoa Rainy75 Pro is described as clacky and creamy. Rainy75 Pro by -error--hrik- records Durock Sea Glass switches, which Wobkey does not list for the board, and is described as thocky. No pack here records the Pro with its JWK WOB switches.
A simple way to compare: open one pack of each and type the same sentence on both, at the same volume.
What sets them apart
- The plate. The Lite and Standard have a PP plate; the Pro has an FR4 one (Wobkey).
- The switches. The Lite and Standard come with HMX Violet linear switches. The Pro comes with JWK WOB or Kailh Cocoa linear switches, chosen when you order (Wobkey, Wobkey store).
- The battery. The Lite and Standard have a 3500 mAh battery and the Pro a 7000 mAh one. Wobkey gives about 450 hours with the lighting off for the first and about 900 for the second (Wobkey).
- The lighting. The store lists the Lite without RGB lighting; the Standard and the Pro have it (Wobkey store).
The case, layout, gasket mount, connections and polling rates are the same in all three versions (Wobkey).
Which one to hear first
If you want a creamy sound, start with the Pro pack on Kailh Cocoa switches: it is described as creamy, and it is the one people played most. If you want a brighter, clackier sound, start with the Rainy 75 pack described as clacky and thocky. If you want a deeper sound, both boards have a pack described as thocky, so hear one of each with the same sentence.
If you are deciding mainly on the switch, keep in mind that the Pro's packs record Kailh Cocoa and Durock Sea Glass switches, not JWK WOB. The Cocoa packs are the closest to a Pro as Wobkey ships it.
How to listen
Every pack page has a keyboard you can type on. Turn the volume up and type anywhere on the page to hear the pack. To hear it while you work in other apps, download Mechvibes, open the pack and press Install.
The same keyboard can sound very different from one recording to the next. Switches, keycaps, the desk and the microphone all change the sound, which is why some keyboards here have several packs. If you own a Rainy 75 in a setup that is missing here, such as the Pro with JWK WOB switches, you can record your own pack and add it to the library.
