MonKey B.U.T.T.s Instruction Manual

Many moons ago, apes learned to use tools. Then many moons later, 3D printers. Now the apes have mastered magic: we’re turning DUST and LASERS into BUTTONS for your CONTROLLER.

SGF MonKey B.U.T.T.s (Button, Universal, Top Tier) are the next evolution of our award-winning* MonKey button caps. Each MonKey B.U.T.T. includes a body, retention ring, and cap that are laser-sintered from durable PA-12 nylon -- the same material used to make power tools -- as well as a noise dampening o-ring, Kailh Choc switch, and a custom PCB to interface between the switch and your favorite PCB.  

The MonKey B.U.T.T.s are available in two sizes:

  • 30mm - a drop-in replacement for Sanwa OBSF-30 sized buttons
  • 24mm - a drop-in replacement for Sanwa OBSF-24 sized buttons

Switches are available in 4 options -- see our switch product page for info on each.

Caps/plungers are available in three distinct surface styles: 

  • Flat, like the 🦧 original Flatbox style buttons
  • Convex, similar to Japanese 🇯🇵 Arcade buttons 
  • Concave, similar to American 🇺🇸 Arcade buttons

Flex your custom controller with a sharp set of Dressed Up B.U.T.T.s in any solid color (or a full art print, coming soon). Or show off a set of Nekkid MonKey B.U.T.T.s - all-natural, raw laser-sintered plastic goodness.

this is the evolutionary gap between ape and man

where is the 4.9 stars option? there's a couple inconveniences like the installation and removal of these, which are honestly more or less one and done issues. these do have a couple options that make me easily over look other similar buttons, lowest height, the coloring to the tops of them and the fact that I can get a gosh darned American style button cap are ALL reasons why I choose these. the feel, performance and play durrability is all excellent. Iron out the installation/destallation kinks and get a transparent option and it's an easy 6 out of 5 stars.

These are super low profile, you will for instance struggle to put them in the home/share/select row for hitbox.

The tactile pom buttons are extremely good, I normally instantly swap out the stock switches for buttons, but I love the Chimpomzee switches.

Everything is simple and elegant. I really love the product.

Definitely need some revisions

Buttons generally feel nice, but install is brutal. Had one button break as the collar got stuck at the very bottom of the button. Once these issues are ironed out I think this will be a very good button option.

Good buttons just hard to install/remove

I really did like these buttons but they were kind of a pain to install and remove. I tried them out in two different sticks and accidentally broke one of the button collars on removal because of how much force I had to use to unscrew it. Also these buttons really tore up my fingers when installing and removing them due to the sgf branding on the button collars. Overall though, I did really like these buttons. They actuate really fast and feel super smooth, just wish they were easier to install. Looking forward to future revisions.

Hi Ruben, thank you very much for your honest feedback. Though these are currently a new product for us, we'd like to do our best to make sure that you're taken care of and fully satisfied with your purchase. We've emailed you with some offers to help out with your issues.
