Thermaltake Level 20 RGB Battlestation Gaming Desk Review

Thermaltake's Level 20 RGB Battlestation desk is something else. It's sure to turn some heads but some design choices and a hefty price tag make this one you are going to want to watch all the way through.

crazy question lol, WHAT are those lights in the background? Love those things.

[@shaddowz48]

You're growing! Just for us EU people please could you include measurements in centimetres?

[@9540400]

Just for everyone else besides UK and US u mean?

I think its actually "rest of the world people"

You mean rest of the world

[@cessposter]

Indian here. Don't you have like a scale or something, like 15 cm scales have inch measures on them

[@ZAR556]

What a joke, Add few Lightnings slap Gaming name, Mark up 1000 USD cost

[@rankoss3437]

Z Rus true the one without the rgb is like 500

[@2CREATthief]

@@rankoss3437 the one for about 500 is without any electric powered height adjustment. Even without the electric help its ridiculous. you just pay 500 for standard... the height adjustment for the 500 is mechanical but way too much anyway.

[@mrrod3004]

@@2CREATthief you could buy ther 500 and pay 120 for eletric legs and add them yourself

[@BigDeaner]

Your channel is underrated you deserve more fame

[@WilliamBasley]

I agree that 1200 is an absurd asking price.

[@Twistedsackboy]

What's absurd is if people are actually buying this -talking to you crazy rich gamers.

[@jamesmartin6579]

i love this desk, I'm probably going to buy one but I can understand why you passed on it, the issues you brought up are totally legit.

[@AJRMarine]

Don't do it! I own it and it is crap. My RGB broke because I used a clamped mic. on my desk. I called TT to try and get a replacement and they don't sell replacements, and wouldn't give me one either. At this price that is tidally no acceptable.

[@thekurdboogie]

Fricking desk is more expensive than my whole settup

[@jaatatai4514]

You just saved me 1,200 $. Thank you!

[@MichSciFi10]

I think your criticisms are a little picky. I don't think not using the included mat makes it UNUSABLE! You could not use it in favor of using your own. And when it came to you complaining about the tools. I don't get how you can be a tech KZbinr and not have your own tool kit already. The same goes for the cable tidy, more cables isn't a bad thing. It's a fun challenge for us PC Gamers I'm sorry you didn't like it, the price does definitely suck, fortunately for me in the UK it is only £811.49 which is still a lot but Standing Desks aren't cheap and when you include the lights and the weight capacity, it's annoying but reasonable for the price to go up - I've seen desks with less features for more :/ That being said I do appreciate how thorough you were in showing it off ^_^

[@Brainbean]

MichSciFi I tend to be over picky in my reviews to help point out little thing to consider from the consumer stand point. My main criticism of this desk is that for over a grand you don’t get a solid desk top which is just insane. And the tools thing isn’t a huge deal like you said but I’ve had $350 chairs come with great tools that made the prices easier. Sure I have a whole workbench full of tools but I’m looking at this from the average persons perspective and I won’t assume they have anything extra. I appreciate your comment however, and I’m glad you found the review helpful. I feel like it’s my job to be picky so you don’t end up getting something and learning a hard mistake that I can find out for you.

[@MichSciFi10]

@@Brainbean Oh I am Sorry. That's my bad as I didn't look at it like that with the tools, glad you did. With the solid thing, you make a good point. I think I'm just tryna look at it from a Bright side, how it might be to help with shipping but then then, your point is true! Thanks for your reply 😊

[@blacknapalm2131]

*There was one here in New Zealand in our local big gaming store. It was $1800 NZ. It sat in the store for 2 YEARS before they removed it. No one ever paid that ridiculous price for it not even a rich person lol* The worst thing for me is the lack of monitor cut outs and cable cut outs in the desk and mat itself. I have an Arozzi Arena that has 3 cutouts so you can clamp your monitors AND nice cut out stealth 'lines' for the cabling so you can have a VERY clean and 'stealth cables' setup. With the huge LED strip on the 'Level 20' it just makes your cabling spaghetti stand out even more as every cable that passes over the strip stands out. As you said, some very questionable engineering decisions that tables that are less than HALF the price have solved.

[@Scottyknew]

Appreciate the honest review. I was on the fence about the desk but after your vid, I definitely won't be getting one.

[@EmoEmu]

You just saved me $1200. Thanks!

[@heaven_x]

2:35 😂👍👍

[@1leggeddog]

Wait... how does the split in the middle make it unusable?

[@ShawnBuckingham]

I've been around for a while, so I know what your review style is like, and I apprieciate your honestly. To add to your conclusion though, the tools were crap, and nothing was labeled up parts wise, eek it's hard to justify. 1x lifx beam, and you'll RGBify just about anything.

[@griff3n69]

Any suggestions for a desk nothing too expensive or adjustable or anything.

[@xenofn3139]

Bro what are those light you have in the background

[@jza2814]

Good review. Thanks mate.

[@tacitzy2495]

Lmao just get a regular desk, full sized mouse pad, led light strips and done.😂

[@Joesworldttv]

So I bought this on Amazon 2 days ago. It listed at $987.00 and within 3 hours of ordering it the price dropped down to $876.00. Today the life has dropped once again to $786.00 now. I’m glad I cancelled my order. Probably gonna wait a few more days and see it the price drops down anymore before I try to order this desk again.

[@RubyGrey59]

seems like its holding steady right under 700 bucks. i bought it but im having nothing but issues with the RGB controller software. doesnt seem to communicate with my pc at all.

[@lolgod1695]

can you do a tutorial on the b-roll you do because it is looking better than ever!

[@Brainbean]

VikiNg thank you! Maybe one day I will. I actually thought this one kinda sucked so thank you. It’s hard to film a big item like a desk in a tiny studio environment.

[@gayasslily]

I just noticed it, the desk just costs 761,99 euros in germany.

[@SoorajO]

I bought one today :)

[@mohdalmarzoqi9616]

thanks a lots for the honestly

Why use mouse pad on it though

Just buy normal a desk and put rgb lights on tbh

[@_ketosucks1355]

Gaming desk are the next biggest scam to nascar racing fake game chairs LOL

[@yoitschris96]

Anybody know If it’s possible to add a desk mount to this or would it crush the rgb light?

[@AJRMarine]

It crushes the light and it will break. Another fun fact TT will not replace the light AND there are none for sale either which is crazy for the price you pay.

Are you able to hook a tri monitor mount to the back of this desk without it getting in the way of the rgb lighting?
