    "summary": "Wireless keyboard retail prices are typically 3x to 5x the factory-gate cost, with markups accumulating across brand licensing, distribution, and retail margins. Working directly with an OEM/ODM manufacturer such as AllwinKey removes these intermediary layers, allowing brands and distributors to control pricing, MOQs, and customization. AllwinKey supports wireless keyboard programs spanning 2.4GHz, Bluetooth, and tri-mode connectivity with flexible order volumes.",
