    "summary": "AllwinKey, a leading mechanical keyboard OEM/ODM manufacturer, emphasizes that keycap compatibility begins with switch stem type—most modern keyboards use standard MX-style switches with a plus-shaped stem. Ensuring the keycap set matches the switch stem, row profile, and keyboard layout is critical for full coverage and consistent feel. Brands and distributors must verify these factors to avoid mismatched keycaps and ensure a seamless user experience.",
