I often vote for boards I wouldn't like to own or use, just base it on creativity, effort and aesthetics.

vote ansi!

Also please I hope you guys know I'm just joking with how ridiculous those 2 bullet points are. I mean I might hate SA and ISO but you're entitled to what you like. I just legit don't know what to vote for.

Hmm... I need to get back to my old keyboard project. It's so close, and an absolute sin that it doesn't function... And a weird absolutely custom layout.  :p
But seriously, it's kinda pathetic that my project has sat for literal years with no progress.

I've not found the ambition to learn what I need to figure out how to code the firmware, and doing the halfassed firmware that doesn't support the detachable numberpad feels like I'm cheating the entire purpose of the keyboard. Kinda dumb, right?

it can be hard to find the motivation, I too have projects from years ago I never bothered to finished that have just been sitting here and I always feel bad about it.

hope you can finish yours some day!

Wow! I actually sat down and worked on the numberpad LED wiring. That has literally sat for two years!
Originally, I got motivated into working on it, only to find I made a mistake, and it just deflated any and all motivation.
You're right... Meh-tivation sometimes requires that you gotta beat it into getting off it's butt and start motivatin'!  ;D
