Hello all, does anyone out there have a link to share for an app that actually works as a remote keyboard for an IPad Pro to a mini Mac.? I see the App Store is full of them but more than half have 2 maybe 3 stars , poor reviews and seem like a waste of time. I just picked up new mini and would like to use my iPad as a remote keyboard.
You are right on your initial assessment and that is those apps that turn your iPad Pro into a remote keyboard for a Mac do not perform well. In my experience, there has been an annoying amount of lag which makes the entire experience a bad one. Those apps are a waste of time.
My recommendation is that you get a good Bluetooth based keyboard for your Mac Mini and put the iPad Pro to a better use and that is to use it as an extended second display with SideCar.
