Review on πŸ”Œ KeeYees ESP-WROOM-32 Microcontroller Development Board with Dual Core WLAN WiFi + Bluetooth 2-in-1 - 2PCS Set for Arduino by Edward Mcnamara

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Poor quality on single board computers

Very poor packaging and board quality. Both boards came with short styrofoam and protruding pins. The protruding pins on one circuit board were bent and had to be carefully straightened out with needle nose pliers (see image below). On another board, the rows of pins have been expanded on both sides. I tried straightening them out and getting them to move a bit but couldn't align them well enough for fear they might break the board or remove the traces (see image). Because of this, it won't fit on a regular breadboard. Both boards had poor soldering quality and poorly soldered modules (see photo). The boards were also bent for some reason - this may have happened during the soldering (manufacturing) process due to excessive heat. I won't be using them for any serious purpose and don't think they will last long. Avoid them!

Pros
  • Everyone likes it so far
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product
