    "summary": "Custom keycap thickness is a critical specification in mechanical keyboard manufacturing, typically ranging from 1.0mm to 1.5mm for standard ABS and PBT keycaps. Thicker keycaps, particularly those at 1.5mm, provide enhanced structural rigidity, reduce key wobble, and produce a deeper, more satisfying acoustic profile. For B2B buyers, specifying optimal thickness directly influences product durability, typing comfort, and perceived quality, making it a key differentiator in competitive markets.",

            "q": "Does keycap thickness change the sound profile?",
            "a": "Yes, thicker keycaps produce a deeper, more muted sound, while thinner keycaps tend to sound higher-pitched and more hollow."
