    "summary": "For keyboard brands and OEM manufacturers, the choice of keycap material directly impacts product durability, acoustic profile, and unit cost. ABS offers vibrant colors and low cost but is prone to shine, while PBT provides superior wear resistance and a textured feel, making it the preferred choice for high-end custom keycaps. POM and nylon offer distinct tactile and acoustic properties, enabling manufacturers to differentiate their products in a competitive market.",
