The new function of MacOS is "universal control", and it is very convenient for multiple devices to operate and interconnect!

Yesterday I saw that macOS pushed the update of 12.3. I remember predicting a "universal control" function before, so I quickly upgraded a wave of experience, and the effect made me amazing. Hurry to Amway!

First of all, let me tell you about the office that is now isolated at home. I mainly use two MacBook Pro, one is an old 20 17 machine (Intel) and the other is a new 202 1 machine (M 1 Pro), plus a 34-inch Dell monitor.

The layout is as follows:

Let me talk about some inconvenient points at present:

DD Logitech's MX Keys and MX Master suits are now used at home and office. Because they support Bluetooth to connect multiple devices, they can be switched in the following ways:

If you switch frequently, it will be more troublesome, and you have to keep pressing. Logitech's Flow function has been used before, which can automatically switch Bluetooth connections when the mouse moves to different devices.

But I felt unstable after using it for a while, and then I didn't continue to use it.

Sometimes, what runs on one machine needs to be transferred to another machine. Of course, there are many ways to achieve this. You can do this in the following ways:

DD now uses the synchronization function of Qunhui NAS, which sets the folder synchronization on all machines and automatically completes the synchronization of multiple devices, including: the two MacBook Pro here and the iMac in the office.

Although the problem of file transmission is solved, it still varies from person to person because of the cost of intermediate equipment.

Let's talk about how to use universal control and how to improve the above pain points after use.

Before using general control, you need to confirm the following points:

If you use iPad, you have to upgrade to iPadOS 15.4.

Next, enter the system preferences.

Click "Monitor" and you will see the "General Control" button.

Click the "General Control" button and check the function.

Then you can see other Apple devices nearby in "Add Monitor".

After adding, you can find the device you are currently linked to in the following location. You can adjust their positions by dragging.

Click the display settings for other operations.

Mouse key switching

After turning on the master control and adding the monitor, you only need to move the mouse from the display edge of one device to another device according to the display layout you configured, and the keyboard will automatically switch to another device with the mouse switch.

The whole process is also very smooth, so you can switch buttons on the device from now on!

File transfer

To transfer a file, you can drag the file to the screen of another device as shown below to complete the copy operation.

Of course, you can also copy and paste. There is no need to rely on external devices to help with transmission. And the process is very smooth.

This wave of updates is very powerful, and it has an absolute productivity improvement function! If you have multiple Apple devices, upgrade quickly!

By the way, if you are not an Apple user, you want to realize this efficient switching method. The flow plan of DD Logitech mentioned above can also be tried. I'm not sure if it's my use or if it's really not that smooth. If you have a successful partner, you can also leave a message on Amway.
