[T1R] Why does the keyboard on my iOS device disappear when connected to the T1R in Keyboard Mode?

When your iPhone or iPad is connected to the T1R in Keyboard Mode, you may notice that the on-screen keyboard disappears. This is normal and is caused by how iOS handles external keyboards.

Why does this happen?

iOS hides the on-screen keyboard whenever it detects that an external keyboard is connected. The T1R sends measurements by emulating a keyboard, so iOS treats it the same as a physical keyboard device.

• The on-screen keyboard will not appear while the T1R is actively connected in Keyboard Mode.
• The keyboard will return once the device is disconnected or switched out of Keyboard Mode.

Show KB Bypass

This limitation can be bypassed using the Show KB quick action, which appears on the T1R's screen when the device is in Keyboard Mode.

• If your iOS device is not displaying the on-screen keyboard, pressing Show KB will force the keyboard to appear.
• Pressing Show KB again will hide the keyboard.
