Am I the only one that's really excited about Universal Control? If nothing else, it's extremely impressive from an engineering perspective (if it works as seamlessly as they make it seem). To be able to take your work from your iPad to your iMac like that would be pretty incredible.
- eyelidlessness 5y agoI think quite a lot of that has been available by copy/paste over Handoff, it seems like the major change here is that it's available with a shared pointing device. Still impressive!
- RussianCow 5y agoAgreed, but that one change instantly takes it from "occasionally useful" to "hot damn that's so cool".
- eyelidlessness 5y agoI’m a weirdo who does ~1/3 of my device time on my phone so I’ve probably just been using this feature more than most people already :)
- Ambroos 5y agoIt doesn't work very well in office environments unfortunately. I gave it a try with my work MBP and Mac Pro, and the amount of cursor judder / keyboard lag was wild. It'd also just plain not work at times. I think things are better when the environment is less busy and devices can talk to eachother over the same WiFi network (instead of WiFi direct), but it has proven to be unusable in the one scenario where I'd have liked to use it.
- RussianCow 5y agoThanks for sharing your experience. That's what I was afraid of when I saw this first advertised. It's a bummer, because it's a feature I could see being useful in a lot of different (ad hoc) scenarios.
- aikinai 5y agoUniversal Control isn’t even out yet in beta.
- Ambroos 5y agoIt's very easy to enable. But yeah, I will admit it's not 'production-ready'.
