There's 3 choices of yellow ALPS switches in Taobao. One, with the LED hole, seems to be SKCL. The other two seems to not have any holes for LEDs. I bought 1 of the 2 choices remaining, the one with ~222K switches in stock, and it seems to be SKBM Yellow ALPS without LED holes. Does anybody know what the last choice is?

The only one worth getting really is the SKCL Yellow.
Of the other two, one is the SKBM Yellow, which you might want to get just for collection purposes but otherwise is, like basically any SKBM switch, mediocre.
The other should be SKCM Dampened Cream (slider is the wrong shade to be undampened), although I got excited originally and thought they were undampened and bought some. The seller ended up sending me the SKBM Yellows, so I'm not sure if the two listings are really segregated, or if the seller realizes he has two different switches.
