Yeah, it's clever to be able to control an iPad from a Mac. But it's real utility is controlling multiple Macs. I have a personal and a company laptop, and I use both all the time. This just made things much easier (and yes, I know about Synergy, but just never bothered to try it).

But it does not "just work" by any stretch. I ran into the same typical crap that I see with Handoff and Airdrop. It "just works" until it inexplicably stops working, for no apparent reason, and nothing but a reboot fixes it. Even getting my two Macs to see each other was a PITA (a 16" M1 Max, and a 14" M1 Pro). I thought at first it was because one was hardwired (but also on the local wifi), but no. Disabling ethernet made no difference. Multiple reboots, no dice. Later on, 10 minutes after deciding to give up, it just decided to start working, a fact which I only discovered because I lost control of my mouse on one machine, not realizing I had moved it to the other.

Now that they "know" one another, we'll see if it works more consistently now.
