[Switch Rankings] September 2025 - Oil King Overthrown
September Switch Rankings: Oil King Overthrown
Hey folks,
Big shake-up in the switch world: the Gateron Oil King is no longer the top dog. In September, it was overtaken by the Sillyworks × Gateron Type R, with a silent contender like the TTC Frozen V2, and the Keygeek Y2 also climbing the ranks.
For more details, my most recent switch market overview with the best-selling switches of September 2025 is available now.
We pulled in data from 16 vendors across the globe (US, Europe, China, Japan, India, Australia, and more) — representing almost 1 million switches sold in total. What emerges is not just a snapshot of popularity, but a shift in momentum.
- The switch database has been updated with the current rankings and new switch models.
- Discussion on Reddit -- feel free to share your thoughts.
- Only 5 vendors saw growth in September; the rest reported flat or declining sales.
- Tactile switches continue to make up ~40% of positions in the top 100 (though only ~20% of the top 10 this time).
- Be wary of stock clearance distortions — old models sometimes spike in local Top10s but rarely crack the aggregated list.
