Looks very interesting. Reviews give it mixed results but an easy way to transition from Nikon to Sony.

I haven't tried this one, but a few years back I tried several of the electronic (Fotodiox, Commlite, another) F to E adapters. Some lenses worked fine, some kind of worked, some didn't work at all, and in several cases the camera locked up enough to require a pretty hard reset. Oddly enough, the rock-basic AIS manual lenses worked best, perhaps because I didn't expect much. With focus peaking and IBIS they were actually quite usable on Sony bodies. My favorite was the 300 f2.8 AIS lens on a 6500. Failure of this approach with some important AF lenses was a major reason for selling my Sony gear.

Several of the adapters appeared to be re-badged versions of the same product.

Make sure you'e got an easy return policy on it.

I bought one a couple of years ago and all it was couple the lens (a Canon EF-S) to my Nikon Z. No aperture or AF control. Total was of money. Luckily it was rather inexpensive (for camera equipment)
