Tired of seeing these threads.   There are several of them from the time I've been here.  Anything that says "plus" is rubber dome.   This is an old problem.  Many sellers use the description of the old minitouch for the plus which causes confusion.

To ricercar's credit, this seller seems to have omitted the part about the rubber membrane. :crazy:
