    All iPads universal control and sidecar

    universal control (UC) requires moving pointer past the left side of the screen whereas sidecar (SC) requires moving the pointer past the right part of the screen. This is unintuitive when I use both UC and SC interchangeably. Can it be standardized somehow in preferences?

    Universal Control over USB

    Based on what Apple have stated here I would expect Universal Control to function over USB but it is not? 5 - iPad and Mac must not be sharing a mobile data and internet connection.
