That bar has a couple of arrows you can use to line up the iPad with your Mac so that dragging the mouse feels smooth. Apple isn’t using anything more complex than proximity, so assuming your devices are close together, you’ll start a session by dragging your cursor to the left or right of the Mac’s screen and then a little beyond.ĭuring Apple’s WWDC keynote, execs showed the gray animated bar that appeared to the side of the iPad as the first cursor crossing took place. You can then move your cursor seamlessly between them. All you do is use your mouse or trackpad to push the cursor (left or right on a horizontal axis) from one device to the other until it appears on the second device. How do you setup Universal Control?Īssuming Handoff is enabled on all your devices, and they meet the requirements listed below, setup is pretty easy. I’m not certain whether you can use this with three Macs, but I think a lot of people working in high-end motion graphics studios would be thrilled if you can. I believe this can be in any combination, so an iPad and two Macs or vice versa. You can use the new feature with up to three devices. (I’ve not yet been able to test this, but I do hope this largesse extends to Office apps.) How many devices does Universal Control support? The expectation is that any application that currently supports Handoff will work with Universal Control. This could be useful when sketching, designing, planning, or otherwise getting things done. You can even drag and drop items such as documents, images, or media between devices – just select it on your iPad and drag it over to your Mac.
Just get your cursor to the relevant device to get started. Anything you already use your mouse, trackpad, and keyboard for will work across all your devices using Universal Control.
