Except for the fact that it's a rubber dome.  :)

I thought all the real M2s were basically a cheaper buckling spring design with various issues?  Did they also make a rubber dome variant?

I know of 9 M2 model numbers. Two of those are rubber domes. The 1395300 is a US ASCII buckling spring and is the most common board on eBay. There are 2 other US, 1 UK, 2 French M2 and 1 Portuguese buckling spring models. And there are surely, at least several, other Euro models.

Generally, a Model M with a part number beginning with "7" is going to be rubber dome.
"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

Here's the most unusual M2 model with a unique top case. Unfortunately, this model is also a rubber dome.

But even as rubber domes, the M designation rubber domes are quite nice.  Not sure about the M2s though.
