Good value but not perfect
I have some experience of driving these servos from a RPi using an AB Electronics PWM card. The servos were well packaged are arrived quickly. Each comes with 2 mounting screws, 3 control arms and a single screw for mounting the selected arm on the servo.I drove the servo using a pulse rate of 20mS and pulse width of 1mS ->2mS. This resulted in 110deg of movement. I connected one of the arms to a 360deg protractor to make measurements (see picture). I used a 'scope to check the pulse widths being produced by the PWM card for various angles... The top graph shows that setting a particular angle on the RPi results in the correct pulse width. The bottom graph shows that the rotational accuracy is not great. Sorry about the poor curve fitting... I think that it's about 5deg out mid-band which is quite a lot really.Asking for a rotation of much less than 2deg results in no movement at all. Asking for 10 degrees or more results in a fairly repeatable response as per the bottom graph. Between 2 and 10 degrees, you get mixed results.The current demand of each servo is;1.9mA with no pulses at all2.5mA with pulses but no movement75mA with the servo moving, no mechanical loadI did try pulse widths outside the limits above and if you use <0.52mS or >2.5mS it's possible to jam up the mechanism. In this state the servo draws 700mA and gets warm fairly quickly. I thought I'd blown it up but leaving it to cool down restored operation thank goodness. I didn't try this again!Using an iPhone camera in video mode and Windows Media Player in single frame mode, I measured the slew rate (not the most accurate method I admit) and with absolutely no load, I got about 200mS / 60 deg and with the protractor fitted I got 230mS / 60 deg. This is about 1/2 of the quoted speed but it's plenty quick enough for me. These results might be rubbish due to my measurement technique but I think they're right (obviously!). EDIT: After completing this test, I read up on what the angular speed actually means and I've realised that I measured it incorrectly... The speed rating does not include starting/stopping! It assumes that the servo is already rotating as the measurement starts and is still moving after 60 deg of travel. On this basis, the speed of rotation is more like 90mS / 60 deg but this is not very accurate due to my measurement technique. Servo supply was 5VDC while making the measurement.I have not carried out any meaningful load tests but just sticking your finger on the servo arm while it's moving gives quite a lot of confidence that it will work well in service. Although I have most of the testing with a single servo, I've actually had 10 off connected at the same time (to different PWM outputs of course!) and they all worked fine during about 20 hours of non-stop operation.In my application, I'm running totally automated with no user intervention and the lack of small-angle accuracy together with the non-linear angular response might be a problem... I'll find out... I think that for its intended audience (RC model control) it would be fine; the eye->brain->finger feedback loop fixing any of the mentioned problems. At the cost, I think they're really good.

1 faulty in a pack of 10.
I've purchased a pack of 10 Longruner MG90S and tested all of them using Arduino + Adafruit's motor driver. One of the motors fails to complete the travel; it sometimes stops mid-way, at a different point every time, i.e. exhibits an inconsistent behaviour.
