aLtErNaTiNg CaPs when using keyboard through universal control and pressing caps lock

I'm using universal control between my macbook and iPad. When I use the caps lock key on the macbook while typing on the ipad it seems aLtErNaTiNg CaPs mode is turned on. Is it possible to disable this useless feature? Pressing caps lock on the macbook while on universal control seems to switch thusly:

no caps lock->caps lock->aLtErNaTiNg CaPs ->caps lock->no caps


I'd really like to not have aLtErNaTiNg CaPs. Is this possible? My iPad is on 16.3.1, and my macbook on 12.6.3


This seems to be the same issue as Universal Control typing in upper and low… - Apple Community

Hello mlachmann,


Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!


If you're having trouble with caps lock not working as expected, you'll first want to ensure that both your devices are fully up to date.


Update macOS on Mac - Apple Support

Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


If the issue continues after updating your devices, you'll want to reach out to Apple Support to look in to that and see what options you have.


You can reach out to them here: Apple Support


Take care!
