Wiki found one of my new variant finally. First to find it on my keyboard last year but I could see the taobao seller find out and sell for it this month. I still making lots of detail about Hi-tek 725 series. Keep patient here.
This color is not near to sea green. It's Cyan. Take a look on the site. And the wiki have lots of wrong color and info.

I think it's time to make it clearly to sort. Let me show you All Hi-Tek 725 series switches sheets I made for years.(That's not including the new variants I found when I edit my photo )

bad resolution because of the space limited,will find the good space hosting to replace.

I"ll tell you which variant switch on keyboard when I have time to edit my keyboard photo and many information.
Because I have lots of rare switches with keyboard to clean and shot.

Nice work. Glad you figured out where that weird Cyan came from. I saw those loose switches for sale and wondered where they came from. I like your chart. Hopefully we can find more in the future to fill it in even more.

Engicoder: the powder blue also have the difference color. I take that all on my keyboard but I have no time to edit my keyboard photos. I took the shot and edit the important switches first only.

Yes, I remember from Sandy's photos that the powder blue clicky had a lot of color variation amount the switches.

I upload my photo of keyboard with powder blue on the post.
The white and powder blue have 4 colors each. I make it two because the color is very very closer. And the color of white_2 and powder blue_1 are closer too. It's fucking hard to determine which color it has.
The difference to white_2 and powder blue_1 is: White is transparent and powder blue is not.

When I complete that huge work.
I"ll try to get the answer why Hi-tek made so many color and variant on 725 series switch; why change their eyes; why some switch had dot on slider; why change their variant; why one keyboard have different variant on varies key.

Very good work terrycherry, we'll add all this to our wiki eventually. This is almost like a "space invader vortex".

Is this some kind of parallel universe where Space Invaders are the Alps and vice versa?

No it's real, all of it. That's what makes it so scary. But it seems most of this super rare stuff is in Asia.

terrycherry is our Asian NMB- Hi-Tek connection.
