Is Digilent solderless breadboard high quality?

Hi Guys, I'm planning to buy Digilent solderless breadboard. Is it high quality compared to other breadboards?
Thanks.

You didn't like the answers in your other thread on the same subject so you had to start another one? Answers won't be different...  :palm:

I am not sure what the other thread said and I also have no idea. I would like to know what is commonly understood by high quality when it comes to breadboards. Is it the thickness of the plating, the strength to the spring that grips the wire and how long it stays strong. Or is it the rigidity of the plastic.

I can easily imagine some machine in China stamps breadboards out by the millions and they all are basically similar. USA made ones if any remain might be different.

There is a thread here and this post had a video which I will watch myself but haven't yet.

Yup pretty much all of the above. The brands people like are Wisher (Taiwan) and 3M/Global Specialties (USA). Haven't looked at who makes the Digilent offerings but if it is no-name then likely poor quality with added Digilent markup in price.

And that is precisely why double posting is rude and inconsiderate of other people's time.

For reference https://www.eevblog.com/forum/reviews/is-digilent-breadboard-has-high-quality/msg2319081/#msg2319081
There are lies, damned lies, statistics - and ADC/DAC specs.

Please don't post the same topic twice, it's really annoying.
