How to Get Universal Control on Mac & iPad Right Now, with Betas
Universal Control, the feature that allows a single Mac to control multiple Macs and iPads by sharing a keyboard and mouse, is surely the most hotly anticipated feature of macOS Monterey. Though it was delayed past the the initial release of Monterey, you don’t have to wait any longer to try out Universal Control and share a keyboard and mouse between a Mac and iPad, because you can get the feature right now.
The caveat here is you must be willing to run macOS Monterey 12.3 and iPadOS 15.4, both of which are currently considered beta system software. Thus, by installing the latest betas you can have access to Universal Control and use it right away. If you aren’t comfortable running beta system software, just wait another month or so for the final versions to be out. If you’re looking to just share a keyboard and mouse between several Macs, or even a Windows PC, you can also try a free third party tool called Barrier.
