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.

"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."
