In Xcode 6, the iOS simulator seems to either show no keyboard, meaning you can type but can't see the positioning and effect of the software keyboard, or it shows the software keyboard, meaning you can see it on the screen, but can't type on it - and typing on the soft keyboard with the mouse is really slow!
How do I get the old behaviour back, where you can see the software keyboard, but type on the hardware one?

Just press ⌘K it will toggle keyboard.
Simply, restart your device and you might be surprised to see the keyboard back and working on your iPhone or iPad. Go to Settings > General > scroll down and tap on Shut Down. On the next screen, use the Slider to Shut Down iPhone. Wait for 30 seconds and Restart iPhone.
The basic way to open a list of simulators is to use Xcode -> Window -> Devices and Simulators. Here you can create and manage all available simulators.
By default the hardware keyboard is connected, but the software keyboard is not toggled on. I'm pretty sure this is new behaviour.

Or you can just use hotkey: command + K
