Magnets thread

I am mixing the magnets strength of the corner edge pair as I think that the magnets may be too weak.
I have a cyclone boys magnetic skewb, ootb all of the magnets are 4*1.5. They are very weak to me, making me over shoot a lot. Then I switched half of the magnets (only corners) to 4*2 n35, and they work really well!

I want to magnetize three cubes.: The Moyu Meilong 3x3x3, the QiYi Warrior W 3x3x3, and the QiYi QiDi 2x2x2 (in that order).
I came across a huge guide for magnets (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Ckx4hwxyP9i_7M0Fm7NWg2hraEHA1MPjROgvl9kONKM/edit#gid=0) but the suggested magnet most of the time is N42 5x1, which is pretty expensive. I'm looking at 20 pieces for 5 dollars on Ali Express. So I'll need to spent 40 bucks to magnetise 3 cubes. That doesn't seem worth it for cubes that are worth 10 bucks put together.
On Youtube I found someone magnetize the Meilong with N52 4x2, but that seems a bit big/strong.
I really, really like how SCS magnetized my YLM, so if anyone has any information on which magnets they used, that would also be cool.
Anyone else have any tips on what magnets to use on these three cubes? I've been talking about magnetizing a cube for months now, it's time I finally stop overthinking this and get on with it already. Please help!

Which cube are you magnetizing? I think that setup sounds fine, but make sure the plastic thickness is roughly the same throughout the cube, otherwise using different magnets can have unintended consequences.
In my opinion, odd-layered cubes can get away with having the same strength throughout the entire cube, given that there's no variance in the plastic thickness. A layer in the middle of the cube will be held there magnetically by both sides, unlike the outer layer.
