It's both wired and wireless. There is a switch (usually on the back near the connection) that you can switch from wired to wireless.

Keep in mind there is no built in battery on this one you'll need to use batteries. Also no RGB if you're into that. But good specs for the price

New to mechanical keyboards, but in for one. Does anyone know what size/type of keycaps I'd need to replace some of the red switch caps? (I'm looking to make my son a Gundam themed keyboard, and this is already most of the way there!) Would OEM cherry MX keycaps work for this?

Product description at Newegg says the keycaps are OEM profile, so you should be OK with selectively swapping a few keycaps.

Yes, it's compatible with cherry mx keycaps. I'd suggest that you replace the whole set of the keycaps, because the material, the color theme and the touch feeling are usually different from every keycap set.

Would it kill them to add even just white backlight?!?
Yeah dude I requested to cancel my order just because of no lighting. If they end up sending it anyway, I have tons of spare switches I can throw into it. We shall see…

All types should work for this one, I don't see any weirdly sized keycaps. TKL is pretty standard.

If you look up asceny gk61 keyboard on Amazon, you'll find a no name 60% with swappable gateron optical switches for $20. Another great budget option. I'd posted a deal here but they don't have enough seller ratings. 4.7 stars on the kb with thousands of reviews.

Got one for my wife. She likes my clicky keyboards. Thanks!
Your coworkers will love you for using this as well, who doesn't want to hear typing from across the entire office!

In for one of the Ajazz models. Going to see how it fairs with my Xbox Series X over the controller chatpad.

A hot swap TKL with keycaps and switches and wireless for $30. Seems like a great deal to get into modding keyboards. In for 1, thanks OP.
Could you share more? I'm finally upgrading my Corsair Vengeance K65. Thing looks immaculate but it is so old, bought it when it comes out.

Would this keyboard as is be a good replacement?
I forget what keys are best for gaming. I have red switches on my Corsair.

It looks like this can be paired against one machine via Bluetooth, and another over the 2.4ghz dongle, with a keyboard shortcut to switch systems? And maybe even second Bluetooth connection for a third machine?

I would not recommend this as a replacement for a Corsair. This will probably a significant reduction in quality. This seems to me to be a good (cheap) option to get into the hobby of modding keyboards. I doubt it will be good for gaming out of the box.

Ajazz is also distributed on Amazon and NA sales under Epomaker so yes it's quite reliable. IF you get a chance, I'd recommend trying their switches. I got the banana yellows and it's SOOO fun to type in. I don't have Panda switches but I read somewhere online that it's very similar in feel to Pandas.

Ajazz keyboards are plug-and-play - no software is needed. My only major complaint with Ajazz keyboards is that I've only seen them use 3-pin switches, not the 5-pin ones so you may be slightly limited on switch options
