Swagkeys Catmint 58g

Quick Summary

The Swagkeys Catmint 58g is a long-pole linear tuned for volume and clack. A POK stem and full nylon housing give it a bright, snappy signature with an early, firm bottom-out. If you want a medium-weight linear that announces every keypress, this is a cheap way to get there — but it’s the wrong pick if you’re after something muted.

Specs and Feel

This is a medium-weight long-pole linear: roughly 58g at bottom-out on a 20mm spring, with a shortened 1.80mm pre-travel and a 3.50mm total travel. The stem is POK and both housings are nylon. POK is a slick, durable material, and on a long-pole stem it bottoms out sooner than a standard linear — that’s the source of the loud, clacky pop these are known for. Nylon housings reinforce the deeper-yet-sharp tone and keep wobble in check. Factory lube is applied, so the travel is smooth out of the box with only a hint of spring noise to listen for.

Tuning

These are good stock and the factory lube is decent, but the one weak point on POK long-poles is occasional spring ping. A drop of lube on the spring ends (or a quick spring swap) clears that up cleanly. I wouldn’t touch the rails — the smoothness is already there and you’d only risk dampening the clack you bought these for. Films are optional given the snug nylon housings.

Verdict

Buy the Catmint 58g if you want a loud, medium-weight long-pole linear and you build on a plastic or PC plate that lets the sound bloom. They sit close to the Swagkeys Jieum in the lineup but lean a touch heavier and brighter, so choose Catmint when you want more weight behind the clack. Skip them entirely if you need a quiet switch — these are built to be heard.
