Not cheap, but there's nothing else like it.
The MEGA is my go to for projects and this is my go to for prototyping and production shields. When I need to ship something out to a client that would normally have duponts on it, this is a must.

Seems ok so far
expensive compared to the underlying, but makes it nice to have screw terminals.

Lots of well organized connections.
I think this is a great addition to an Arduino Mega 2560 . There are 92 clearly marked and well organized terminals. They can take up to 18 AWG solid wire . The terminals are well oriented for ease of access.I do have one minor quibble. The 6-pin SPI connector ,that I use for programming, is a little bit off-center. This has required sanding the connector on one side with a Dremel. I don't know why the block was not centered.

great

For Arduino MEGA board
No soldering needed. Get this. Need small screwdriver (forget phillips vs slotted)

Good solution for a permanent installation
Arduino boards are mostly used for development stuff, but I am using an Arduino Mega to drive some stepper motors and a lot of I/O on a foam slicing machine that I am building. The Arduino works great for this, but wiring directly to the board is kind of iffy for a permanent installation. On the last machine I used gaffers tape to secure the wires to the headers which is not a great solution!This time I purchased the Salon Screw Terminal Block Breakout Module and it is a great solution, as you now have screw connections to secure the wires to the Arduino. I like to use wire ferrules on all my wiring, which prevents stray strands of wire from causing errant connections and a lot of debugging later on, but they can block screw access to other terminals. The trick is to start wiring the lower terminals first and work your way up to the higher numbers. If you have to access a lower number later on, you might have to temporarily remove several wires to get to the one you have to change!I used 4-40 screws (3mm will also work) to secure both the terminal board and the Arduino to my backplane, so everything is nice and secure.This is a great product and I will use it again!

Can't recommend enough
This is the easiest and most secure way to wire up an arduino mega. The tilt and location of the ports lets me attach and detach any wire a need even when all the ports are taken up. Full accessibility. And in the event the arduino fails, I can just pop this off, swap the arduino, and re attach. No need for pulling each individual wire. When i started my project i was using a bread board and a sea of breadboard wires. ocassionally i would snag a wire and wonder why my project wasnt functioning right all of a sudden. I got this and never looked back. They even included a power LED and a reset button so those arent covered while using this. If i was forced to say something bad, I'd mention that the RX and TX lights are covered so when you're loading your sketch onto the arduino you cant see when it has started or finished. But then again, the Arduino IDE tells you when the programming has started and stopped so it's not a big deal at all.

Works well
The fit was correct and all the pins worked.
