“Sdfg” is just like “asdf” which both originated from the PC multiplayer player base, due to these keys being common and easy access for them to type, because their fingers are always near them.

The exact origin of the term is unknown, however it has first surfaced on the internet around the time, when the first Call of Duty first-person shooter online game started getting popular in late 2003.

It started out as a mistype of “asdf”, later players started to use this form and “asdf”, when for example they got some impossible shot in a game like Call of Duty.

“Sdfg” is likely used in multiplayer games and memes commonly around the internet, thanks to the huge popularity of games like League of Legends, DOTA 2, Counter Strike: Global Offensive, and Call of Duty.
