It's a UK layout. Got it from BlueGooseSystems. I love it! http://imgur.com/a/1UGdS

for me it is the ping sound...maybe I mod my model m blue label and make it more silent.

The ping is one of the best parts about them, IMO. :D Of all the Model M's I have, my 1390301 is the pingiest. The newer ones don't have that same pinging sound, I've found, so the newer the better if you don't like the ping.

The floss mod will take out the high overtones, but the effect is not nearly as satisfying as it is on a Model F.

Placing the keyboard on a rubber mat can do a lot.

Any idea how it would affect the pings, by mounting the F recessed into a hole cut into the keyboard tray?

Nice :)

It's odd seeing the Num Lock light on - I use my Model M on my Mac and Num Lock doesn't do anything :))
