    Hi,

    I have an iPad Pro and a MacBook Pro, I want to use the iPad as a trackpad (using pencil) to move the cursor on the MacBook pro screen, similar to a graphics tablet I guess. Is this possible, how would I go about it?

    Thanks,

    Not too sure but the folks on the Mac Thread might be able to assist you better.

    Forgot about the Mac thread, perhaps a mod can move this please?

    Thanks PaulT21!

    Look up Sidecar in your system Preferences on the MacBook Pro. See if it sees the iPad Pro and if it will do what you want.
