Very interesting! Will definitely try this.

Feedback: I think it would be beneficial to clarify that there is a trial at the top of the page. Currently we have download and buy buttons next to each other, which I assumed meant that the software can be downloaded first, but will require a key you get from ”Buy”.

The images show Switch 1 controllers. Since the Switch 2 is already out, does this imply that the tracking doesn’t work on Switch 2 controllers?

I don’t like the 3 PC activation thing. It implies that the software needs to call home and will stop working if the company goes under. Or, at least, will not be possible to install anew.
