Roselle Evolution:Feel the extraordinary touch of the Roselle V2
Since we launched Roselle switch, it has always been loved by a large number of enthusiasts, due to its unique material and touch. In order to repay the love of fans, we decided to do a upgrade version of Roselle. However, when it comes to product upgrades, it is not easy! Product upgrades is a complex process, involving market research, design, development, testing and other links, but I am a person who particularly love to toss, so after half a year of continuous adjustment and transformation of the mold, lubing technology upgrade and test, so there is the Roselle V2. If you want to know what changes we have made, please don't miss the following: 1. 【RGB diffuser】Make every breath of the keyboard full of charm In the world of keyboard, the combination of light and force can always create infinite possibilities, so we added a transverse RGB diffuser in Roselle V2. This RGB diffuser design, can provide better light brightness and uniformity, bring a clearer and...

Also this drop; (https://www.massdrop.com/buy/team-wolf-tkl-swappable-switch-mechanical-keyboard) says they need SMD LED compatible keys. Is it the type described in this drop?
EDIT: Apologies, I was unable to get those images to upload, so here I've linked to them on a different site instead. https://static.coltondrg.com/blog/2017/04/IMG_20170408_133228.jpg https://static.coltondrg.com/blog/2017/04/IMG_20170408_133220.jpg
Sorry for the poor image quality as well.
These switches will work on both keyboards but the light will get blocked out from the black bottom housing. The SMD variants have a cutout at the bottom to allow the SMD LEDs to shine through.
This is getting annoying with the other drop, trying to find the right switches for that board with cherry stems seems a bit too much work. And the big deal was supposed to be hotswappability with the other keyboard. Doesn't help that /r/mechanicalkeyboard wiki is the worst organized wiki in the history of wikis.
These ones being through LED compatible means I can put a led through them, right?
Edit: This place stocks the Gateron SMD switches https://www.pcgamingrace.com/products/gateron-smd-led-compatible-mechanical-gaming-keyboard-red-green-clear-brown-blue-black-switches
I recommend the Gateron switches. They're relatively easy to find sources for on the internet and are pretty good switches overall. Finding a set of Gateron SMDs in your preferred colour shouldn't be too difficult. I also agree that the choice of ALPS stems for the other drop was an interesting choice.
About these switches being LED compatible. The housing is transparent and the bottom has some holes punched in it for LEDs to go through. Unfortunately I don't actually know how exactly this works, but I'm guessing it's a method if you're going to be building a keyboard from scratch as every "hot-swappable" keyboard I've seen like the E-Element has SMD LEDs.

It seems the keyboard that I got in the last drop (hot swappable E-Element) is only compatible with outemu switches, so I don't think gateron will help me. (Until the moment I feel so into this craze that I decide to build my own keyboard from scratch) For now, I'm gonna try to find a sampler pack, see which switches I like the best after the keyboard comes in and commit to those switches.
Thanks everyone!
Source: I currently own a Z-88 and was unsuccessful at getting either Cherry or Gateron to work. Thankfully, I was able to find SMD compatible Outemu Purples to replace the stock Blues and I'm a super happy camper :D
