That same image is used everywhere, assuming this Amazon person is a reseller. You can find them on eBay for a few dollars cheaper. Prerunnerseth's are also about the same for similar functionality.

I've used similar boards, on three seperate occasions. They work fine, they can be wired directly to the Pi zero's GPIO pins, or to a teensy. I've only used the PreRunnerSeth ones though. But they are essentially the same thing.
This is the one's I have used.

For 2-day delivery with prime shipping, $9.99 is pretty reasonable. I bought a bunch of similar common-ground boards a year ago on ebay and they were $10/each shipped, too. They work fine, as a no-frills drop-in for buttons.
