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.
“These economic royalists complain that we seek to overthrow the institutions of America. What they really complain of is that we seek to take away their power."
He paused for a moment, then thundered, “Our allegiance to American institutions requires the overthrow of this kind of power!”
“In vain,” Roosevelt said, “they seek to hide behind the Flag and the Constitution. In their blindness they forget what the Flag and the Constitution stand for. Now, as always, they stand for democracy, not tyranny; for freedom, not subjection; and against a dictatorship by mob rule and the over-privileged alike.”
- Franklin Roosevelt 1933

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.
