Usually good rubber domes (I have a 3601), but rubber indeed.

Two of them for $10 total and in new condition? Then yes, in my opinion.

This is not the KeyTronic with curved back plane, but still some of the best rubber domes out there. They have been compared to Topre in feel, but KeyTronic is made cheaper. This Key Tronic models has even cheaper construction and materials. The keys will get shiny in time. The stabilizers are made of plastic and break more easily than most. Rubber domes are snappy with distinct landing, but there is an ordinary flimsy membrane underneath.

Keytronic rubber domes are really good - I quite like typing on them.  Two for $10 in new condition?  Grab them.
