What is the MOQ for double-shot keycaps?

OSHID's typical MOQ for double-shot keycaps is 2,000 sets, because molded legends require tooling inserts and machine setup. Exact MOQ depends on layout coverage, colors, profile and packaging.

How long does double-shot keycap sampling take?

Double-shot sampling is typically around 15 days when tooling is required. Existing profiles and clear artwork files help the sample review move faster.

Can OSHID produce shine-through double-shot keycaps?

Yes. Double-shot keycaps can use translucent ABS legends for RGB or backlit keyboards, making the legends part of the molded plastic rather than a surface print.
