With Universal Control, you can use the keyboard and mouse or trackpad connected to your Mac to work across your Mac and iPad when they’re near each other. For example, you can open and use apps, enter text, and drag items across devices. If an external keyboard and mouse or trackpad are connected to your iPad, you can use them to work across both devices too.
To use Universal Control, make sure of the following:
•You’re using supported models of Mac and iPad.
•Your Mac has macOS 12.3 or later installed.
•You’re signed in with the same Apple ID using two-factor authentication on both devices.
•On your Mac, you’ve turned on Wi-Fi, Bluetooth®, and Handoff.
Do one of the following:
•On your Mac, use your mouse or trackpad to move the pointer to right or left edge of the screen closest to your iPad, pause, then move the pointer slightly past the edge of the screen. When a border appears at the edge of the iPad screen, continue moving the pointer to the iPad screen.
•On your Mac, click Control Center in the menu bar, click Display, then choose your iPad (below “Link keyboard and mouse to”). Use your mouse or trackpad to move the pointer past the edge of the Mac screen until it appears on your iPad.
After you establish a connection, you can move the pointer across screens until one of your devices goes to sleep or you disconnect them.

You can adjust this by changing the arrangement of the devices in System Settings (macOS 13) or System Preferences (macOS 12.3 to 12.5).
