Universal Control (currently in beta) lets you control multiple Macs and/or iPads using one keyboard and mouse. It's different than Sidecar because it lets the iPad retain it's unique set of capabilities (rather than simply making it a Mac-lite).

I can think of a good reason for Universal control on iphone: file sharing. Iphone camera is wayyy more mobile than ipad and depending on which Ipad, the camera quality could be much better on iphone. in my experience airdrop hasnt been as reliable as I had hoped. could be a great work around. And same utility for Iphone to mac or macbook if you are editing on that and not your ipad.

One of the things I used in the past, Sharemouse, was awesome to control my surface tablet and Mac Mini but it used Wi-Fi and had some considerable lag. It looks like universal control uses Bluetooth instead, and there hasn’t been any noticeable lag for me. Granted, you can’t use it to control a windows device.

Giggity! Just found your page. I just went to Mac from 30 years of PC as a reseller because my eyesight has gotten worse. My software on the Mac is included with zoom features that I would have had to get a special program for had I gotten a PC. So right now, I have my 27" iMac running with Windows Remote Desktop (my quoting system requires PC) with very little lag. I quickly move over a 2nd window to my iPad Pro 12.9" holding down the green circle and selecting "iPad Pro". My iPhone/iPad Pro/Imac has been a cohesive workflow that no android or PC has ever given to me.

I've been using the public beta and Universal Control on my M1 Mac mini, and it's been great! I do have an issue with mouse scroll wheels, like you said…best to use Apple peripherals for now (though my Keychron keyboard's actually been pretty solid). I also have an Intel MBP, so it's been wild to go across and drag files between a MBP, iPad Pro, and Mac mini in various display configurations. Wow!

It's not the same experience, you can't move files from one device to another, for example. And it's not as seamlessly as the Apple universal control. You don't even need to install any third party app to be able to use universal control. You can't do the same with logitech.

Coursor seamlesly goez from one screen to the other, you CAN copy files and so on. Yes you need to install logitech software on devices you want to use your peripherals with, but it also allows you to move files across different OS and not just apple eco system. And all this functiobality were available like 5 years ago on all platforms to whoever needed it.

Hi Cris! Thank you for this review. One question which is a go / no go for me. Would UC allow me to use apple pencil on iPad to access Macbook screen (basically iPad as a touch bar) and interact with the Mac applications? Say for example I'm sharing my screen on my Macbook during the live demo with my customers and I want to use the pencil to quickly select and screenshot a part of my screen and make a simple sketch or diagram on this screenshot (and of course my customers should be able to see all this). Would I be able to do this?

Are you using iPad Pro or iPad Air? I have an iMac, I am really happy to learn about this universal control feature so I can share my keyboard and mouse with the iPad. Now considering whether I should pay for the extra bucks for the iPad Pro thinking that it'd be an extra monitor. I am thinking about going for iPad Air before because I don't really need super high resolution, I don't game, I don't do graphic design) I was thinking of using the iPad as a elevated Kindle + notetaker (I take a lot of notes 24/7) - any advice?

Chris, how stable is that Satechi stand when you have the iPad in portrait? I see you can do it but is it one of those things where you don't really want to touch it in portrait for fear of it falling? I'm currently using a laptop stand to stand my 12.9" iPad Pro (2018) in portrait, but it takes up so much room on my desk and is just so unwieldy as compared to a sleek stand like that Satechi. But this laptop stand is the only thing I've found that inspires confidence with the iPad in portrait (and I prefer portrait orientation for the iPad). By the way, thanks for another great video.

I’m a little confused on the purpose of the 2 docks. Is the Brydge Dock mostly for cable management and to drive dual monitor? What’s the purpose of the secondary dock? On your gaming screen, how do you have both the Xbox and Mac plugged in - Does it have 2 HDMI inputs? I have a similar setup that I’m trying to see if I can simplify. I have a really crappy 3 to 1 HDMI switch that switches via an IR remote between PC, Mac, and Nintendo Switch on 1 27” monitor. Wondering if one (or both these docks) could make that more seamless. Can’t wait to be able to control my Mac via my iPad 12.9 keyboard!
