I’ve had similar issues, but I believe one of the issues you’re encountering is intentional: > Multiple monitors stacked vertically: You can only move the cursor across one of the borders, the other one doesn't work. Once two devices are connected, you can rearrange them in Display preferences just like any other monitors. I found this to work as expected. By default, the connected devices have their monitors aligned such that the corner of one monitor touches the corner of another, but you’re free to change that. On the other hand, I’ve encountered additional issues. Even with a Magic Mouse or built-in trackpad, there are odd lag spikes. Scrolling will randomly stop working. Some first-party iPadOS apps will randomly freeze, including Settings. They’ll stop responding to touch input as well. Other apps will continue to work. Overall, though, it works well enough that I’ve been using it to run Slack on my iPad while working on my MacBook.

It's not intentional. I know I can rearrange the displays. Here's my setup (I hope ASCII art works here): ┌─────┐ ┌───┐ │ A1 │ │ │ ├─────┤ │ B │ │ A2 │ │ │ └─────┘ └───┘ Mac A has two monitors stacked vertical: A1 and A2. Mac B has a portrait monitor. I can move between A2 and B. I can't move between A1 and B.

  Yea i have this issue also. The only alternative was to put the ipad to left of the monitor in displays and drag across to get to it. Works but not good. Hopefully apple will fix soon.

  That’s intentional. What you’re actually getting is this: ┌─────┐ │ A1 │ ├─────┤ ┌─┐ │ A2 │ │B│ └─────┘ └─┘ It’s the same as if you were to have an actual third monitor. You can reposition B in the Display settings so it looks like this: ┌─────┐ │ A1 │ ┌─┐ ├─────┤ │B│ │ A2 │ └─┘ └─────┘ That arrangement had been working for me, but I have to manually configure it. However, that’s no different from when I plug in a monitor with a mismatched resolution or DPI. It’s even the same as Sidecar. That being said, it’s been far from reliable, and Universal Control is both very late and very much unfinished. I’ve been experiencing different issues from the ones you mentioned, but they’ve been issues nonetheless.

    > That arrangement had been working for me Well, it has not been working for me. And I've tried rearranging the displays. I'm not stupid. I had a similar setup with a single Mac before, and it worked fine. The layout looks correct in System preferences. When moving the mouse between A2 and B, the cursor comes out in the right position. I just can't move from B to A1. (A detail I omitted for brevity: I can move the mouse from A1 to B, but then the cursor jumps down as if it was coming from A2.) It's definitely a bug, it's not intentional.
