Editing Hi-Tek Series 725 keyboards (section)

===Second generation (1985-1988)===
{{Main|Hi-Tek Series 725 second generation}}

The second generation switched to a thinner plastic. No painted coating was used on the upper case. The surface texture was part of the moulding process. The rear cover is also plastic and matches the colour of the upper case. The rear cover features two cable ports which are marked "Keyboard" and "Mouse" along with a grille opening with an unknown purpose. The rear cover is attached to the upper case with a number of tabs that slide to interlock. The rear cover and upper case are held in place by two screws. The feet are black plastic with rounded ends. 

The XT and AT styles from the first generation carry over to the second generation. 

====XT====
As with the first generation, the XT style is similar to the Key Tronic keyboards with a PC/XT key layout.

====AT====
The AT style borrows from the IBM Model F AT keyboard. Like the first generation, early second generation AT style keyboards lack the status LED panel, opting to have the status LEDs within the keys. Later second-generation AT style keyboards added a status panel very similar to that on IBM AT keyboard. The feet are plastic, matching the colour and texture of the lower case half. When retracted, the feet are flush with the surface. The large keys of the alpha group have a stepped outer edge that is very distinctive of Hi-Tek keyboards of this era.
