This has been an issue for quite a while, I can't even remember when this first started. I'm curious if anyone experiences this or has a workaround, and maybe they finally fixed it in iOS 26.5. I guess we'll find out when it gets released.
Anyway, when I have keyboard sounds turned on, I can't hear them at all. They're very quiet if I'm using AirPods, but pretty much nonexistent when just using the phone without AirPods.
I'm not sure why this has been an issue for so long, and I know it's very minor compared to other bugs others have seen, I'm just curious if anyone else experiences this.

Known bug
Keyboard sounds not playing is a known bug that Apple is aware of. In my experience, turning audio ducking off causes keyboard sounds to play as expected.
audio ducking
I do have audio ducking turned off, just for reference.
KEYBOARD SOUNDS.
I ALSO HAVE AUDIO DUCKING TURNED OFF AND THE KEYBOARD CLICKS ARE SO QUIET THAT YOU DO NOT KNOW IF YOU ACTUALLY PRESSED THE LETTER, OR NUMBER, OR SYMBOL THAT YOU ARE NEDING TO USE.
An idea
This is just an idea, but what if you go into:
Settings, Accessibility, VoiceOver, Audio, VoiceOver Sounds & Haptics. Uncheck the box next to, "Match Speech Volume", and set that to off? Then, set sound volume to anywhere between 80% and 100%?
What this does is make it so that the VoiceOver volume rotor only controls the volume of the speech itself, leaving voiceover sounds untouched. This will allow you to have a little bit of control over your keyboard click volume.
Just a thought. 😇
HTH.
