Broken: Universal Control Keyboard Mouse Sharing OS Sequoia 15.0

Same here and it's killing my workflow. Apple this needs to be a priority it's important to many of us.

I am experiencing the same issue between my M1 MacBook Pro and my 2020 Imac after updating to Sequoia. It's making me nuts. I just want to put my reference materials on the small screen and my work on the large one and scroll back and forth, but I can't work 5 minutes without the connection breaking.

I've not seen any updates further on this, quite annoying to keep doing the toggle button to enable.

I have only been successful following a restart and re-enabling both devices as well as re-selecting the mouse and keyboard control; however, it seems that it will only remain connected for a minute at most as greg2U has also indicated.

For me, it also works for a few minutes, but locks up and/or disconnects often. Sometimes you can toggle wifi and/or universal control on both Macs or use Activity Manager to Force Quit the Universal Control process and it will work for another minute or two.

I consider it unusable as it stands today.

Just updated today and am having the same issues on Sequoia and iPad os 18. I use Mac mini M1 and M4 iPad Pro. It will share the keyboard and trackpad from MM for a minute or so then disconnect then randomly reconnect. I've tried turning off the share function, restarting, re-enabling, turning off and on wifi and bluetooth and nothing fixes it. The weird thing is that the MM has no problem screen mirroring or extending to my iPad so THEY SEE EACH OTHER. Something is broken with share keyboard/mouse/trackpad specific function. My iPad is my primary work device that I would love to be able to share with my MM. Like Kasezilla said "it's killing my workflow". APPLE PLEASE FIX!

Seeing the same issues. In addition, when it is "working" I get doubled up "space" characters, causing the iPad to routinely think I've hit the spacebar twice, leading to inserted period (.) and capitalization I don't want.

Also having this problem in 15.0.1. The connection between two mac breaks every few minutes, requiring me to toggle Displays/Advanced/"Allow your pointer and keyboard to move between any nearby Mac or iPad" to get it to work again briefly

Great... I have been waiting, not updating to .0 versions. Yesterday I got Sequoia 15.1 on my MBP M1 PRO, and iPadOs 18.1 on my AIR M1 iPad, and it is not working... Connecting and disconnecting all the time.

Signed out of iCloud on both machines, restarted both machines, signed back into iCloud. Been a day and still connected. Sequoia 15.1

I’m on Sequoia 15.1 now.

I managed to get it working by signing out of iCloud on both computers, restarting them, and then signing in again. Hope this works for you!

Having the same issue here, after the last update Sequioa 15.1. I did all the steps you can do. Toggle on off the universal control, restart Mac and iPad, Shutdown both, turn off and on Bluetooth and wifi, use terminal to kill bluetooth (sudo pkill bluetoothd), and lastly re-install MacOS Sequioa. The same issue kept happening, It will connect for a few seconds and disconnect, when connected is laggy or it doesn't connect it all no matter what you do! Sooooo I talked to apple support, and they told me that apparently this been happening and they have reports of this, so he escalated this issue to engineer to see if they can fix it in the next update.
