iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

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.

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.

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

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

120

Until then, you can count on me to keep doing what I’ve always done: supporting the community and making sure customers are taken care of -- mostly my making monkey jokes and buttons. None of this is easy. But it’s the right move right now.

100

This is a transition, not an ending. If the financial picture improves and SGF can return to stable footing, I’ll always be willing to put in the effort required to support the community's needs.

100

4) New developments, releases, and fulfillment times may slow down. But the fulfillment estimates on the website will always be accurate. And I will always communicate if I ever expect to miss them.

100

3) Some product lines will be scaled back so I can refocus. This starts with an immediate discontinuation of the SGF Faust. It's a hard decision, but simplification is necessary.

100

2) Future customers can rest assured that they’ll be taken care of too. I will continue to be honest and transparent about every order. You should never hesitate to reach out with any concerns.

100

Here’s what this means in practice all: 1) Support for all customers will remain unchanged. If you’ve placed an order, it will be fulfilled and supported—no exceptions.

100

While I’ve always been the sole employee of SGF, I haven’t been alone. I’ve had the help of friends, family, and many of FGC members who’ve become fast friends along the way. I can’t possibly name every name, but I deeply appreciate everything they continue to give to this crazy idea I had.

100

Whether you bought a controller, shared a kind word, cracked a dumb joke online, or gave me a hug at an event—you’ve made this more than a company. You’ve made it a community. For that, I can’t thank you all enough.

100

It will continue evolving to fit the community’s needs. SGF is the monkey finding the new branch to climb to right now, and it might be hard, but it's not going to fall from the tree. Growing and supporting the SGFam has been the single biggest success of my life. And I mean that.

100

To do right by that legacy, I need to prioritize my own financial stability and mental wellbeing, at least for now, which means finding full-time employment again. However, SGF is not disappearing.

100

In many ways—intentionally or not—SGF has been a vehicle for transferring my life savings into a community I love. And honestly, I am proud of that. It's a legacy worth celebrating.

100

SGF isn't going away, but it will change. SGF has never made a penny in profit. Instead, it has given away hundreds of thousands in cash and product to FGC community efforts, locals, school eSports programs, and even charities like The Trevor Project, United24, and The Jane Goodall Institution.

100

I want to share some important updates about SGF Devices and where things are headed. In short: I need to take a step back. Life has been throwing curveballs—significant mental health challenges, the deteriorating financial health of the business, and the broader economic climate all play a part.

SGF Devices™ @sgfdevices.com · 27/09/2025

SGF's social media activity has been a bit slow lately. Sorry for that. SGF Devices is going through some changes, but whether you’re part of the SGFam now or thinking of joining, you’ve got nothing to worry about. I’ve got your back—full story in the thread below and the picture attached.
