    "summary": "In 2025, custom keycap MOQs for small brands have become more flexible, with many Asian manufacturers now offering minimums as low as 100 to 300 sets for single-keycap prototypes or limited colorways, down from traditional 1,000 to 5,000 set requirements. This shift is driven by advanced double-shot molding technology and modular production lines, enabling cost-effective small-batch runs. For emerging keyboard brands, partnering with an OEM that offers tiered pricing and design-for-manufacturing support can reduce initial capital risk while maintaining quality standards.",
