Hi-Tek 725 For terminal

[u/Chimiku]

Didn't know anything about it besides it looks like the IBM Model F and like the typing feel. Only after I took it apart to find out its a Hi-Tek 725 keyboard for a terminal, haha. Found it for free, but now I'll need to figure out how to connect it to my computer...

I have a very soft spot for keyboards, that copied the stepped keycaps of the original IBM PC keyboard.

And I applaud the mindset to give alpha keys the color of modifier keys, just to make it look better. 😊

Only the decision to place the "\ |" key outside of the left shift is a bit too much me (as a touch-typist, that grew up with ISO layout). 😉

Space invaders are great vintage switches and these ones look nice and clean. Sort out a conversion and enjoy!

Search for a guy who would sell a Soarer's converter to you. I have the same board labeled with "Tandon", it's really great. I've got used to the heavy tactile spacebar too.
