Outemu Switches (120-Pack)

pretty sure it's SMD compatible considering I have seen them on several boards with SMD

Thanks!

The bases are black, and in the product description, it says these switches are NOT compatible with Surface Mount Diode (SMD) LEDs. Beyond this, if you look at the bottom, there's no space for the LED to shine through. These switches are designed for LEDs that have their leads extended through the switch and are permanently soldered to the board. So no, I do not believe that these switches will work with your hotswap keyboard and allow you to retain the use of your LEDs. I'd recommend checking out https://novelkeys.xyz though. However, with your keyboard, unless you enlarge the holes somehow on the solder-in hot-swp pin-condom type, they're basically locked to Outemu switches. Being that I don't know for a fact what the specific eccentricities are with your KB (I've never used/owned it), I don't feel comfortable being the yay or nay for you joining this drop. TL;DR - Pretty sure they won't work, but don't take my work for it because I'm not 100 percent sure.
