The Gaming Peripherals fingerprint
Five dimensions of the niche at a glance — each scaled 0–100 across our coverage, so the shape reads at a glance and compares across niches.
- Demand — sum of noise-corrected lifetime views divided by age at collection on tracked videos; not current daily traffic or query counts
- Breadth — distinct query phrases tracked
- Creators — channels with a committed footprint here (consistently rank for the niche and are focused on it), not one-off/viral rankers
- Commercial — share of the signal associated with commercially worded queries; not observed buyer intent
- Fragmentation — inverse of leader dominance; not evidence of entry opportunity
Where the demand is
The sub-topics inside Gaming Peripherals, ranked by observed historical view-average signal.
Sub-niches overlap — a keyword like a shared accessory can belong to several — so these bars add up to more than the 75.0M niche total, which counts each keyword only once.
Relative changes in video view averages
Change in view velocity per week relative to the market — median per video, day-normalized, over the last few complete weeks, measured against the median sub-niche across every niche we track. (Not view count, which only ever rises.)
