That's a Model M2. It might be buckling spring or it might be rubber dome. No way to know more without seeing the label on the bottom.

Thank you for your answer. In any case (rubber dome or buckling spring) is it worth 20$?

Rubber dome model numbers start with "7" and that is true throughout the M family.

If the keyboard is not working, it is probably due to a couple of capacitors that can be replaced for $5.

Some people really like these and prices can go up to $50, but $20 (including shipping) would be a good buy for a complete working one whose number does not start with "7" in that case it is worth less.
"We are on the precipice of signing an agreement to advance talks with Iran that preserves the good parts of former President Barack Obama’s Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) while amplifying its flaws.
Mr. Obama came to an agreement that did not involve America’s most precious treasure, the lives and limbs of our soldiers.  The 1.7 billion dollars of frozen Iranian assets released by Obama pales in comparison to the 300 billion being floated as a rebuilding fund.
So far, speculation that Iran will be free in the future to continue its nuclear program is the opposite of Trump’s stated goal for the war and in direct opposition to what Mr. Obama negotiated.
