    "summary": "A custom keyboard assembly line visit typically reveals production throughput of 500 to 2,000 units per day depending on automation level and manual labor allocation. OEM buyers should verify that each station follows IPC-A-610 standards for soldering and that in-line testing covers switch actuation, key rollover, and RGB functionality. Scalability is confirmed by checking spare capacity, changeover time between models, and the presence of SMT lines for PCB fabrication.",

            "q": "What production capacity is typical for custom keyboards?",
            "a": "Most mid-size OEMs produce 500–2,000 units daily. Confirm your order volume fits within spare capacity without disrupting existing schedules."
