It is stated to have light-medium magnet strength, but I cannot find anywhere that states the actual neo rating (N) of the magnets.Ok, thank you
Does anyone know what's the size and strength of the magnets used in the Valk 3 M ?

I know there is I meant there is no way to Measure magnets in a cube installed by a factoryActually there is ! People use N35, N38, etc all the way up to N52 (the higher the number the stronger the magnets)
So I'm asking if someone knows that number
doing it yourself is cheaper and allows you to customize the strength to fit your preferences, getting it from the factory is more convenientBuying a magnetic cube vs doing it yourself, is one way better than the other?
Agreed 100%.doing it yourself is cheaper and allows you to customize the strength to fit your preferences, getting it from the factory is more convenient

For future reference: you actually don't even need to glue them; just let the additional magnets sit on top of the ones you've already glued.So I did the only thing I could think of: gluing the 4x1.5 magnets on top of the 4x1 magnets.
Sometimes after much research and fretting just jumping in and winging is the way to go! I do that with cross sometimes, and when I first lubed my cubesUpdate: I wasn't sure whether I'd like having magnets in my cube so I bought the weakest ones (4x1 N35).
I glued them trying not to mess up polarity and I succeeded on all of them except one, but I managed to take it out and put it back correctly.
I did a few turns and it was immediate: do not buy 4x1 N35 magnets, they are way too weak it's like they're barely there.
I had to turn extremely slowly to feel them: my solves are usually around 3 TPS (mainly because of pauses but that's another story) so imagine what I mean by extremely slowly.
So I thought "well, I managed to take out a magnet when the glue had dried (the one with the wrong polarity), I can take them all out and put stronger magnets instead". So I bought 4x1.5 and 4x2 N35 magnets.
Boy was I wrong, I barely succeeded in taking 3 magnets out. I tried acetone, using a screwdriver, soaking the pieces in hot soapy water for a few hours, it did nothing.
So I did the only thing I could think of: gluing the 4x1.5 magnets on top of the 4x1 magnets.
It took a few hours but the strength is fine for me, I'm happy with the result and in the end it was a fun experience!
Just so you don't shift goalposts: what do you mean by "flagship"?There aren’t even real flagship cubes without magnets anymore (moyu gan qiyi)
I think it's generally understood as the newest, the best, the most advertised and most recommended (if money is not an issue) puzzle from a given manufacturer. Old puzzles or budget puzzles are not flagships.what do you mean by "flagship"?
GAN X can be without magnets. MoYu WR is without magnets. Those are flagships.I think it's generally understood as the newest, the best, the most advertised and most recommended (if money is not an issue) puzzle from a given manufacturer. Old puzzles or budget puzzles are not flagships.
The MoYu WR has no magnets.
