Here are some pictures of my Hi-Tek keyboard that I got as SSanta gift (before I send it to a new owner):

Seems to be Hi-Tek day today

This, of course, is from a TI 99-4a computer. I actually kinda like these key switches as I have many systems with them from the early 80's time period. Thanks for posting the pics!

I saw a lot of a few 99/4A boards a few days ago. One was labelled Stackpole, one Hi-Tek, one was tee-ALPS. TI eidently shopped around a lot for a fairly short service life model.

Good to see you showed us all of special switches on that rare keyboard.
It's not usually to see the Hi-tek brand on the PCB.
Can't see the switch under the space bar very clearly. It doesn't look like other white slider.

The spacebar switch is also clear, its a black adapter on the top of the switch who is angled.
