I did the first time, too! Took me quite a bit to realize the AI BS detector was going off when looking at this. Someone who actually understands how these are made could do a VERY convincing job of making AI slop, but even those that don't are close to it.
The 2nd picture shows button glyphs that are AI hallucinated (unless they really made a "L4L5" or "2S 16" button). The 3rd picture shows a switch being removed to demonstrate hotswap capability, but the AI has hallucinated another switch under it, which is obviously not physically possible. (2/2)
Apologies if it's unclear. The 2nd and 3rd images are screengrabs from a promo video, hence the "play" button in the pictures. (1/2)

Be wary, FGC. Not gonna link to it, but they're actually accepting peoples' money for this "product" and pushing it on social media. Don't get mixed up by scammers.
Thank you for all your support! Poured everything I had into this but will still be around for existing customers if any support is needed... and might run a few sets from time to time :)
When time permits, yes. The first priority will be completing and shipping existing orders.
Your support, trust, encouragement, and enthusiasm meant more to me than I can properly put into words. I’m deeply grateful to everyone who was part of this journey in any way, and I truly wish you all the best going forward. Thank you for being part of the SGFam.
Due to a combination of economic, political, and personal challenges, continuing to operate is no longer sustainable. That said, this business lasted as long as it did entirely because of the incredible community around it.
After a great deal of turmoil, I’ve made the difficult decision to terminate operations of SGF Devices. Effective immediately, no new orders will be accepted, but all existing orders will be fulfilled as promised. Customer service and support will continue unchanged for the foreseeable future.
Everyone should make their own decisions, but as someone living in the US, I would advise anyone to not enter unless absolutely necessary for the foreseeable future. Things are going to be unpredictable for a while.
You and your caucus stop doing performative politics AND ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING NOW
Travel into the US for FGC tournaments should no longer be considered safe, regardless of anyone's origin, circumstances, or documentation. If you were planning on traveling here any time soon, please genuinely reconsider.
Go vote.
From 2PM-3PM CT today, January 23rd, SGFDevices.com will be temporarily closed for business worldwide in solidarity with other Americans peacefully protesting the actions of US ICE. #ICEOUT
My controller ports so durable they should call em USB type-ME.
An image of a shopping cart with an SGF Devices controller shown. The controller has an image printed on it of two notorious convicted felons, and it is known to be suppressed by certain entities in the government due to the president being one of them.
With SGF Alpha on deep sale, and our customizer makes it easy to get delivered pre-customized with any image you already have! Our advanced printing process ensures that the image printed on your controller is so durable and vibrant, even the FBI couldn't hide it!
All beginnings have an end.
Alpha is being discontinued as SGF focuses on Gladius, which means inventory MUST GO!
Alpha will remain fully supported with parts and art plates indefinitely, but we've got too many bananas in the tree right now.
Grab yours while you can at sgfdevices.com/products/alpha
Today isn't just the last day of 2025, it's also the last day to grab a Gladius at the lowest price ever! Sale ends at midnight CT, so if you're interested, don't drop this combo! sgfdevices.com/s/gladitude
SGF wishes the entire FGC merry mashing, bountiful bracket beatings, warm spiced trash talk, peppermint pepperings of punches, neutral skipped nog, and.... midscreen mistletoe??? Who knows. Love y'all, have fun, be safe, enjoy.

It's Thanksgiving week, and I'm full of gratitude for the entire FGC. I'm also overstocked on Gladius, so it's time to spread some GLADitude! The biggest sale SGF has ever had, now until end of year (or while inventory lasts)! sgfdevices.com/s/gladitude
New mixtape? Product teaser? Who knows?

Push the envelope
Watch it bend

This Zappa came in for a quick repair due to a (very slightly) loose USB port. 2+ years of regular use, and still no worse for the wear! Now it's headed back to William better than ever, with some goodies, AT NO COST! The Primate Promise means you're always SGFam! sgfdevices.com/pages/primat...
PS - Due to the wonderful laws of the state I now live in, I can't *actually* access Bluesky except through the app I use to crosspost on multiple social platforms. That means I can't see your replies without a VPN, which is on my to-do list. But I want you to know that I appreciate your good vibes.
Even as SGF adapts to these realities, you’ll always be priority #1. My commitment is to keep you supported and taken care of, now and going forward.
Thank you for everything—truly.
— Matt, Founder/CEO/Monkey
