The breadboard which came with the Arduino starter kit seems to work very well.
I have been having difficulty with other brands of breadboards with them being too tight and/or the connections being damaged after a short amount of use.
Does anyone know the brand/manufacturer for the breadboard supplied with the Arduino Starter kit?
Any other recommendations?
What are you shoving into the holes to fail the breadboards so fast? I bought mine at BangGood two years ago and none have failed yet.
I recommend K&H AD-100 series (AD-100, AD-101, AD-102, AD-4D). These are good quality, can be clipped securely together in flexible configurations. They also have the unique and useful feature of 6 connection points per row rather than the usual 5, which is useful when using wider modules such as esp8266/esp32 boards.
Absolutely agree, 6 connections per strip is extremely handy, and K&H are pretty good quality, I have
at least 6 of these of various sizes, no known failures. I think they do both 5 and 6 connection versions,
so check carefully.
Only buy white/cream breadboards - anything else just makes it much harder to see where wires
plug in and its a real nuisance.
Some of the cheaper breadboards have the spring contacts misaligned with the holes, that's
a sign you should avoid that brand.

K&H... do both 5 and 6 connection versions, so check carefully.
Yes, the models I listed above have 6 points per row. Other K&H models have only 5.
Thank you for your responses. I'll give the K&H boards a try.
