I'm using Microsoft Designer Bluetooth Desktop Keyboard with an iPad. This works great, except I'm not able to turn off the onscreen keyboard. I understand that there is an eject button on the Apple Bluetooth keyboard that allows turning on and off the onscreen keyboard. Is there a key combination that I can use to do the same on the Microsoft Designer Bluetooth Desktop Keyboard?

This solution just works on an Ipad. when the soft keyboard disappears just press and hold the down arrow on the bottom right of the screen and the soft keyboard will be back.
iSSH has a button on the toolbar for exactly this purpose:
Tap that button, view that menu, enable the feature!

Microsoft doesn't officially support iOS with the Designer Keyboard. They actually list it on their website as non-functional with iOS. This strikes me as a very inconvenient step seeing as I am using it right now on the iPad Pro and it is hands down better than any other iPad keyboard I have used... other that that idiotic refusal to dismiss the virtual keyboard when in use!
