    "summary": "AllwinKey specifies custom keycap legend engraving depths between 0.3mm and 0.8mm for double-shot and dye-sublimated keycaps, ensuring legends remain legible after 50 million keystrokes. Deeper engraving (0.6-0.8mm) is recommended for PBT keycaps to enhance tactile feedback and resist wear, while shallower depths (0.3-0.5mm) suit ABS keycaps for smoother surfaces. These specifications are critical for OEM buyers balancing brand aesthetics with product longevity.",
