Terrific ways to mirror iPad on computer
Is an iPad a Good Monitor? Is the iPad as good a display as an actual monitor? The 9.7-inch display of the full-sized iPad certainly won't give you as much real estate as a 22-inch monitor. But the best apps for converting your iPad into a second monitor also make use of the iPad's touch interface, which can be a real bonus. An iPad can’t compete with a real monitor, of course, in terms of size or price. But if you already have an iPad, it can pull double duty as a second monitor at your desk, or even with your laptop when you’re out and about. All you need is a little stand like this one, or a case that has the ability to keep your iPad upright. IOS 13 includes new game controller support for Xbox One and PS4 controllers. You’ll be able to use these familiar controllers with an iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV once Apple’s update is.
No way to do this with an iPad Pro that I've found, but the PS Vita natively supports working as PS4 display/controller combination over wifi. Might not be a 100% solution for you if you don't like how the PS4 controls map to the Vita, but worth giving a spin if you can borrow someone's Vita to test.
