Apple says the following Macs support Universal Control:

As for iPad compatibility, this is Apple Said:

If your device meets the hardware requirements, Apple says that both devices must use the same Apple ID to log in to iCloud and Handoff must be turned on. And devices must be within 10 meters (30 feet) of each other. Apple also notes that iPads and Macs "may not share cellular and Internet connections."

Of course, all devices involved in a Universal Control setup must be running the latest iPadOS 15.4 and macOS 12.3 betas, which are available to both public beta testers and developers.
