"Alpha" means "Beginning"

New buttons. New body. New materials. A brand new take on what leverless controllers can be.

Alpha is SGF's first full redesign of our popular, lightweight leverless controller. Every design element has been reconsidered and rebuilt from the ground up, to provide the most comfortable and customizable experience possible.

Never-Before-Seen Materials and Techniques

SGF Alpha's top and bottom surface are brushed aluminum plates held firm to the base frame with magnetic monkey magic. The edges, integrated strap rings and interior case "skeleton" are made of laser-sintered PA12 nylon, the same material used to make bodies for power tools, so it's incredibly durable

Alpha comes with SGF MonKeys button caps, available in your choice of surface profiles. Each button sits inside a custom RGB-backlit button enclosure with a raised bevel around the button, for a premium arcade-style look and glowing RGB "halo" lighting. All nylon parts are media blasted for a satin finish unlike anything else in the FGC: smooth but not glossy; textured but not rough or scratchy.

Cross Compatibility and Customization

SGF Alpha features an RGB-backlit PCB similar to our FAUST model controllers. Under the hood you'll find the latest GP2040-CE firmware powering lightning-quick inputs with less input delay than other leading competitors, and extensive RGB customization options. Alpha is compatible with a wide range of devices and consoles, and also features a passthru USB port for authenticating your controller on PS5 and Xbox One X|S. A tournament lockout switch is also included, to avoid accidental pause button DQ's during competitive play. 

Primed for the Future

We're proud to provide the best long-term customer protection and support in the FGC. Unlike cheaper alternatives that leave players high and dry when something goes wrong, we support the SGF Fam long after the first purchase. SGF Alpha is built with long-term growth and support in mind: you shouldn't have to buy a new controller to change things up. 

Want to add a few extra buttons? Saw a new layout online that you want to try? The apes in the SGF science kitchen are cooking up new PCBs, new button layouts, and new control styles. New hardware features added to Alpha will be available to all previous Alpha owners, with new layouts and formats planned as full controllers and expansion kits for existing controllers. No tools, no firmware flashes: pop the top off, drop the new mod in, and you're good to go.
