    "summary": "Mechanical keyboard OEM lead times typically range from 30 to 60 days for production, depending on component availability and customization complexity, while sea freight from Asia to North America adds 25 to 35 days. For B2B buyers, total lead time—including tooling, sampling, and quality control—can extend to 90 days or more. Accurate planning requires factoring in seasonal port congestion and container booking lead times, which can add 1 to 3 weeks unpredictably.",
