Pretty useful looking size. Have just ordered 10

Hi all interested parties.
Just received my 10 boards.
To see what they are like as prototyping boards I decided to sacrifice a hole or two to check.
Soldering Iron Goot 65W temp controlled station run at 340ºC.
Desoldering tool plunger “sucker” type.
Selected a hole on the end of one of the busses.
Soldered and removed a component 5 times without any sign of distress.
Held flat of iron tip down on pad for 20 sec. Repeated for second period.
Pad showed no signs of lifting. Checked continuity to verify integrity of plated thru sleeve connection to interior track. All OK.
Summary. Board appears to be of sound quality and with reasonable soldering techniques should withstand a good amount of rework. Fairly important for proto boards. Will do what I need.
Thumbs up.
Cheers Bob

Is the Makerverse Protoboard 30 Row compatible with Raspberry Pi Pico?

Hi James,
Welcome to the forum! 
Yes, I can confirm that the spacing will work with a Raspberry Pi Pico. You will have 3 holes on either side of the Pico on the ProtoBoard if you center it. And of course the B1-4 columns.

Hi James,
It would also be worth checking out the https://core-electronics.com.au/makerverse-protoboard-for-raspberry-pi-pico.html
Great boards, combined with some female headers they make for a great prototyping platform(combined with breakout modules or a breadboard before soldering) as well.

Are these electrically connected in rows as per a proper breadboard or are they like proto boards with no connections?

Hi Adam,
Yeah these particular ones do behave like breadboards.
Each bridged connection is shown with that white silkscreen mark between tie points:
The two in the rectangle are connected, and I’ve outlined some of the connections in the power rails and working space between.
Other Makerverse protoboards have individual tie points if thats your style: Makerverse Perfboard 1160 Tie Points | Core Electronics Australia

Great, that’s exactly what I’m after. Can’t stand those unconnected protoboards - they’re a nightmare.

Hi Adam
Something Liam did not mention. These connections are made on BOTH SIDES of these boards. If or when you cut a track it needs to be cut BOTH SIDES of the board.

Absolutely right there, The silkscreen on each side of the board will help pin down which traces need to be cut on each side.
