Chester Creek was situated on the shores of Lake Superior, close to Chester Creek, Minnesota. From 2008 to 2104, their website was at www.chestercreek.com; this now redirects to AbleNet's website. Their tagline was "Innovative keyboards, mice and accessories for all ages and abilities." Target markets were children, people with special needs, and seniors. Many Chester Creek keyboards featured colour-coded keys, indicating either the finger to be used when touch typing, or the semantic nature of the key (consonant, vowel, digit, symbol or function). According to a post made on 2014-10-28 on their now-deleted Facebook page: :"Dear customers, resellers and fans of Chester Creek Technologies. After 10-years, and because of the passing of our CEO, Jim Gustafson, we have closed our doors. However, we have been purchased by AbleNet, also located in Minnesota where you can still find our great products. Thank you for your support over the years." The acquisition itself was covered by a [https://www.ablenetinc.com/resources/press-releases/ablenet-inc-announces-the-acquisition-of-chester-creek-technologies/ 2014-10-16 press release from AbleNet]. Chester Creek's product range is now sold by AbleNet. ==Products== *[[:Category:Chester Creek keyboards|Chester Creek keyboards]] *[[:Category:Chester Creek pointing devices|Chester Creek pointing devices]] [[Category:List of all brands & companies]] [[Category:American brands & companies]]
