Hello everyone so I have an IBM 5251 Beamspring keyboard I am getting ready to restore but the one problem I have is I am missing the Backtab key on the numpad and would like to buy one to complete my keyboard and really do the keyboard justice. If you have a spare backtab key please let me know or if you might know some sources where I might be able to get one please let me know as well. Much appreciated below is a picture of the backtab key I need for my keyboard.

Thanks.

PM user Orihalcon, he has individual beamspring switches with keycaps, he may have the one you're looking for.

I asked him if he had that key around 10 months ago and he said he didn't. Any other sources would be much appreciated.

Thanks.
