KEYESTUDIO Mega 2560 R3 Board for Arduino Projects with USB Cable

Works great. Using to run a homemade dragstrip Christmas tree for a parade float.

Excellent Arduino mega, easy to setup and connect to Arduino IDE, everything went great! Just like an original Arduino. This is the second time I bought from this Brand

This thing for the price was the best choice I could have made. Back when I was going into college. They needed us to have an Arduino to do our projects. They kept recommending that we get in Arduino Uno, but i decided to get a larger more competent one so I could use it in better projects. This thing has been well worth the money. The color scheme is very awesome and I will continue to be using it to this very day.

This is a good looking board - the Yellow trim is definitely a departure from the standard, dull, Black boards! The board looks and feels solid in the hand. Besides, the USB cable that comes in the box looks cool and sophisticated. Functionally, I set it up for use with the Arudino IDE and getting this board up and running with an initial test program was a breeze. I haven't given it 5 stars because I haven't used it to the extent that I use my other UNO boards. Overall a cool and hip looking board.

I have several Uno's and Nano's but I needed an Arduino Mega to follow along with one of Ben Eater's (beneater dot net) projects and this was the one he used. It comes with instructions on downloading and installing a driver on Windows machines. I have a Mac so didn't need that but I did need to update my Arduino AVR Boards in the Board Manager tool for it to show up correctly as an "Arduino Mega or Mega 2560". I modified the standard Blink example just to make sure I could write to the Mega and everything went fine. I don't anticipate any issues. Now that I have it, I'll have fun looking for / designing other projects that utilize the additional I/O pins.

I didn't realize how great this board is until I tried using a board I sourced elsewhere (over seas) and had to wait a week plus to receive. Had no problems with Windows recognizing this board. My "other" board wasn't recognized and I had to hunt down drivers which I found in Amtel's FLIP tool. Then, my "other" board wouldn't take a sketch. Needless to say, my other board is being returned and I'm back to buy this beautifully working with zero issues black and yellow board. The take away is to 1.) buy this board because it works and you'll receive it fast and 2.) stop looking at cheaper overseas options because my time lost on the "other" board options was not worth it.

The board functions as would be expected. This would be a 5 star review had I not fought to get my laptop to recognize my new mega 2560 only to have to purchase a cord when one was provided. Was very frustrating to find out the solution was an old usb a b data transfer ( not charging or power ( unidirictional )

It's a standard Mega 2560 clone, and I really like the yellow highlights. It's reliable and came at a great price, but with confidence, but please also try to support the Arduino project by buying at least one genuine board or donating to them. :) I've tried programming both through Arduino IDE and Atmel Studio and everything works fine.

The product is very useful for project testing. I used this product is very nice actually.

Initial reaction: - it was love at first sight. The yellow and black "Killer Bee" appearance sold me right away. I watched a few youtube videos and other online reviews and decided to buy one of these and a UNO R3 as well. The only downside, this board didn't qualify for the 1 day Free Shipping that I had hoped for. Indeed, the wait was longer than that.....and no fault of either Amazon or Keyestudio. This particular package got routed to the wrong Postal SubStation and took a total of 4 agonizingly long days to arrive in my mailbox. In the meantime, I had received the Keyestudio UNO R3 that I had ordered and I was impressed by the quality of construction and the clarity of the printing on the PCB. Based on that board and tired of waiting, I ordered another Mega 2560 in the hope that one would eventually arrive. Anyway, it was worth the wait. Very little to nitpick about on this board. It looks sharp and the color scheme helps to make it jump out from the usual clutter of my desk. I powered it up, checked the board info on the sketch menu and ran a couple of projects without any issues. This board does come with a short and thick blue cable to connect to a USB port. As time goes by, I'll likely buy a few more of these boards.

1) Mounting hole dimensions is not the same as the original Arduino Mega 2560 2) 3.3v pin on the board outputs 5V instead of 3.3V

Worked perfectly out of the box with the Arduino IDE on OS X. Using this Mega compatible to monitor 4 independent rotary encoders with push buttons, control a Neopixel Ring (volume indicator) and communicate via USB serial to a Raspberry Pi on an antique radio modernization DIY project. Highly recommended. Will be buying more for future projects.

No problems with it.
