What was the experience of using the rdp client to remotely control the computer in iPad?

I recently want to look at tablets. At present, I have excluded brands such as OnePlus/oppo (the pen is too difficult to use) and Honor (the system is only updated for one year). I am hesitating between the upcoming Samsung * * galaxy tab s10 fe * * (the pen is easy to use) and Apple * * ipad air 2024 * * (good ecology), so I want to ask how to deal with these * * ecological problems * * when using an ipad (I don't have other Apple devices) I tried to use Microsoft's * * rd client (now renamed windows app) on an Android tablet to control my computer * *, and found it very difficult to use. In touch mode, I can't trigger the right button by long pressing the screen (on the mobile phone, I can only send touch events when I release my finger on the tablet, resulting in I can't long press the right button), and I can't use the computer input method (it seems that this client is written by a group of foreigners, and I don't know what the input method is). In addition, the reason why I think of the ipad is that the onenote on the Android side is particularly poorly adapted, and many functions are missing, but the onenote function on the ipad side is quite comprehensive, so I want to see if I can cut myself into the Apple ecosystem At present, other remote software (such as rustdesk, parsec) I am not considering, because these software are just simple streaming screens. My computer has two monitors, and it seems difficult to automatically turn off one monitor when the remote session is connected, and automatically adjust the resolution of the other monitor to match the flat screen

    The experience is average, and the middle button cannot be triggered. Not being able to use cad software is useless to me.

    @ Anonymous357 This Android tablet can't do it either, I can only try using autohotkey to map some keyboard keys to the middle key

    @ Poster But solidworks itself supports touch screen. I have tested that in the iPadOS Windows app (originally called RD Client), you can directly rotate the viewing angle with your finger. The effect is the same as the touch screen control of windows pc. This can somewhat solve the need of emergency work when going out.

    @ Poster Generally speaking, after the iPad is connected to the mouse and keyboard, the remote desktop experience is quite good. I have never encountered the input method problem you mentioned. I rarely type Chinese at work, and I directly use the Chinese input method of the controlled terminal, so there is no problem.
