Not the ones you've heard around here I'm afraid.

Chicony made a lot of rubber dome boards after they stopped churning out their mechanical ones. Really it's only the ones with part number KB-5181 and 5191 that you want to watch for.

Or for a 102-key (e.g. UK) layout, xxx2 instead of xxx1. The interesting ones all have model numbers below 53xx and predate 104/105-key layouts by several years.
Hardware in signatures clutters Google search results. There should be a field in the profile for that (again).
