Pretty much the Ajazz AK871 with Backlit, the USA colors be nice, but it seems the Blue is not like the picture.

It is just a keyboard for that price. If you expect good quality for a low cost, I don't think so.
I also thought it was wired/wireless dual mode. But it was 2.4G/BT dual mode.

For the price is nice, of course is a cheap keyboard. It comes with an ESC, SPACE BAR, ENTER and arrows alternative color that matches the keyboard color. For the blue one are kind of red, and for the white one is pink.
It also comes with some extra switches. As some other people said I thought the dual mode meant BT and USB, but its actually BT and 2.4ghz (it comes with a dongle).
The sound is ok, the space bar sound is kind of meh, I guess I can try modding it but again for $30 I think is a great deal.
You can't beat the price! Wireless, Red Switches, nice look, good quality.
If someone's having trouble connecting via Bluetooth, hold function and bt1 or 2, then select from your computer. I'm sure people having trouble have tried this, just thought it might be worth seeing again.
The Ajazz has a lag coming out of sleep so if you're not using the computer continuously, it can be irritating.
I also experienced some ghosting.
It ships in a thin cardboard box surrounded by bubble wrap and then a plastic wrap. Mine arrived with a small hole through the box and a key cap was broken off with a switch stem stuck in it. Luckily the box does include extra switches (note, the extra switches come with a metal cap on the legs that you have to pull off in order to socket the switch) and I managed to push the broken switch stem far enough into the keycap that I could put the keycap on to a new switch with the broken stem still inside the keycap.

BT was weak and missed some keystrokes, maybe 2 feet from my laptop, but in a room with a lot of competing devicea. - The 2.4 with dongle never had connection issues, but I can type fast enough that it drops keystrokes, especially repeated presses of the same key (& I don't type Mavis Beacon speeds). It could be the switches - unsure.
I bought because it was cheap for a hot swappable board with wireless, and so far it's OK for that.
The plastic shell is a bit more pliable than you'd expect for a quality board- you can pull the unsupported length of plastic under the space bar out a good inch without much trouble.
$30 feels fair, not really so much a "deal"
