Universal Control Constant problems.

I have 2 Macs and an iPad.


Sometimes it works as advertised.


Sometimes moving the mouse from screen to screen and clicking leaves the keyboard controlling the previous screen.


Sometimes the 2 slave devices simply disappear from the display settings of the primary device. Suspending/resuming the primary fixes it.


Sometimes the mouse just stops on one of the slave devices. Suspending that device and resuming usually fixes it.


Have run wifi diagnostics, and it detects no issues while this is going on.


Would be really nice if this "just worked".
