Solder The Jumpers otherwise it won't work!
This is the fourth shield for me and all work just fine. Make sure you jump the VBUS power to 5V, SS and INT on the board before running the software. Use the keyboard test sketch Examples/USB HostShield Library/HID/USBHIDBootKbd. It will automatically pick up D9 and D10 as INT and SS for the UNO or MEGA boards.

Missing an entire IC
I have come to expect some pretty good and reliable quality from HiLetgo. This was an utter disappointment. I did not get the IC near the rear of the board at all, disabling the functionality of the board. Some of the pins were not angled right on top of the board, but fit fine into the arduino. Also it blocks the SDA and SDL pins which is annoying.

Great product
Worked as intended

Amazing
Product came pre soldered. Which was perfect as I didn’t need to get my gun out and do it myself! Thank you

For those who wondering why after soldering 3.3v, 5v and bus 5v it doesn't work.
After two days of messing around with it I discovered that instead of 74AHC125 chip there was 74HCT125 one soldered. The PCB is supposed to have two different chips: 74HCT125 and 74AHC125, to convert 5v to 3v logic and to convert 3v to 5v logic. Mine came with two 74HCT125 chips. This is on the edge of my skills, but looking at the datasheets I concluded that these chips are not interchangeable, unfortunately. :( Even-though both chips are 3-state buffers, 74HCT125 has higher input transition threshold (>4v) and it cannot be used to convert from 3v to 5v logic. Worse, it is not going to work (stable) with 3.3v VCC. This explains very strange board behavior where QC program (board_qc from USB Shield 2.0 lib) pass all the tests but still doesn't work. Poor quality control, this doesn't worth your money and your time. Do not buy.

Soldering required
Like others mentioned, power is completely disconnected from the factory and I don't understand why. 3.3V & 5V inputs as well as 5V Vbus pads need to be bridged but after this rework, it works properly. I bought several of these and their build quality has been a mix. On many of them, pins were not soldered straight and it took a little effort to connect to an Arduino board.
