Ok, to me it looked like they did not. The description implies one should
transplant them from wherever to the replacement pads. I will ask the
seller.

Subject: Re: looking for keytronics keyboard pad replacement kit
Upon closer inspection, these are pads only. I am looking for the pads
with new metallic contacts attached, too. The metallic pads also decay and
need to be replaced. I have been able to re-use some but they're never
100% good. The surface gets coated with something that causes them to
loose the desired properties and cleaning does not always help. I have a
punch to create my own pads, and I *could* make metallic pads from a space
blanket or similar but I was hoping to find pre-made-ready-to-use
replacement pads instead. I could use 4 sets.
