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

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.
Stick with your Corsair - this is a downgrade for the following reasons:
1) No backlighting
2) No audio wheel
3) Worse keycaps

the first two are absolute deal breakers for me, but ymmv

The only real keyboard upgrade for you here is that:
1) wireless connectivity (but I don't see people likely lugging this board around),
2) and swappable switches. Good switches are NOT cheap, and you'd need a dedicated switch puller for another $10.

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

In for 1! I've been curious about modifying keyboards but didn't know where to start. Seems like a good place.

60-80 switches are a lot of pins to cut LOL
Not sure if worth the effort, but yes technically possible to cut and file down the pins

Yeah, I hear you. I got a bunch of 5-pins in a loot box and I'm not sure if I want to wait to buy a new kb or clip them.

If you want to go cheaper / smaller or don't like these colors and don't need wireless, I posted an option with better switches for $20. One page back.

Mechanical keyboards will naturally be louder, but it won't make the click sound if you don't get the clicky switch that they offer (blue).

You seem like the type of person who prefers their possessions to be plain grey and black.

There are plenty of all-black gamer keyboards on the market. I don't want to see the keyboard market become like cars where everyone has the same basic black, grey, silver, and white...
Valid. I drive a unique vehicle with Orange metallic paint. I don't even have to look for my car in a large parking lot, I just have to glance around for a spec of color. Unsure why people are some mundane now a days.

Got one for my wife. She likes my clicky keyboards. Thanks!
My son had a RedDragon mechanical 4-5 years ago - it was so loud that I put an o-ring kit in it because you could hear it across the living room (kid's PC stays in the family room).

Eventually he replaced it with a Hyper-X with red switches, and it was markedly quieter.

Why is any deal on the thing it's on and not on something else?
