    "summary": "According to AllwinKey's keycap profile comparison guide, OEM and Cherry profiles dominate the retail market due to their sculpted ergonomics and broad compatibility, while SA and DSA profiles offer distinct typing experiences that appeal to enthusiast segments. Retailers should stock a mix of at least three profiles—typically OEM, Cherry, and one uniform profile like DSA—to cover both mainstream and niche demand, reducing return rates and improving inventory turnover.",
