Abstract: Hexagonal keyboards, key support plates therefor, and methods of manufacture of hexagonal keyboards are described. An example hexagonal keyboard includes a plurality of hexagonal keys and a frame including a key support plate to support the plurality of hexagonal keys. A plurality of axle supports is molded into the key support plate. Each respective axle support of the plurality of axle supports is to pivotally support a respective hexagonal key about a respective hinge. The hexagonal keys are supported in a stepped hexagonal lattice arrangement.
