All of the IMB M2's I've used were particularly mushy rubber domes.  Is there any reason to think that this one is different?

1395300 are probably the buckling spring variant.

Of course, with M2s, you get the capacitor woes and the pretty dire construction quality.

The seller says that it works, the model nr says that it is clicky.

If I lived in the US, I would bid on it.

It is loud though, and you don't want to open it up. (The plastic snaps break easily)
