I had heard of Thermaltake's Level 20 branding first with that expensive case everyone must no doubt also associate with the phrase first, which then had an anniversary edition that no doubt sold enough for Thermaltake to market a product lineup around it. When I think of Tt Level 20, I think of thick aluminium panels. This carries over to the Level 20 GT RGB keyboard in the form of a 2 mm thick aluminium frame. But in 2019/20, there are so many keyboards that boast using a variety of aluminium frames with marketing adjectives galore that this alone does not sell itself anymore. If anything, the keyboard is larger than it needs to be, but it does try to justify this with the provision of dedicated media controls and USB + audio pass-through. The option of a Razer Green switch is fairly unique, outside of Razer keyboards, that is, and the Razer edition supports so many different software programs that it counts as both a plus and a minus in my books, especially when some of them require a specific set of other products, and yet others barely work enough to count.

I find myself conflicted about the Tt Level 20 GT RGB keyboard because it checks off a lot of boxes in the makings of an attractive keyboard in this crowded peripheral market, and yet that is also its bane in that it gets lost in that very crowd. Indeed, the average layperson may well have a hard time finding out more about this keyboard because of the Level 20 non-GT keyboards out there, as well as a set of other Level 20 products under the Thermaltake umbrella which come up in search engine results before this one does. As it turns out, the Level 20 RGB keyboards are placed higher up the totem pole with more color options as well as front/side lighting in addition to backlighting, and we will take a look at that down the line separately. At the $129.99–$139.99 price point, you may as well get the non-GT keyboard or even one of the many others in the market offering a similar feature set for the same or less, but the Razer Green variant priced at $109.99 is a much better offering and actually worth considering.
