Neodymium magnets mounting option

Hi,

I would like to mount my Gunfighter 4 using neodymium magnets attached to the base of stick.

(like these:https://www.amazon.com/stores/page/337915E0-5B7A-4118-9F42-CA5A4D23D6BE/?_encoding=UTF8&store_ref=SB_A0570965KKWIAOF9DI6W-A0330309135UD6CWT38OV&pd_rd_plhdr=t&aaxitk=6bc3540d306b0ef9bea9adab0c222df0&hsa_cr_id=0&lp_asins=B07YBBCJ5W%2CB08T768F38&lp_query=Neodymium%20Magnets%20Magnets&lp_slot=desktop-hsa-3psl&ref_=sbx_be_s_3psl_mbd_mb1_ls&pd_rd_w=8cxWs&content-id=amzn1.sym.5594c86b-e694-4e3e-9301-a074f0faf98a%3Aamzn1.sym.5594c86b-e694-4e3e-9301-a074f0faf98a&pf_rd_p=5594c86b-e694-4e3e-9301-a074f0faf98a&pf_rd_r=SW7QE88PD4VYKWTYED01&pd_rd_wg=4dqLs&pd_rd_r=ce385e0f-0991-414b-b613-88c86996db04)

Is it safe for internal electronics? If not, what would be safe distance of magnets from stick base?

Thank you

What is the reason why the factory ones are not satisfied?

It does not have anything to do with factory magnets. I need to figure out the way to mount the stick to my cockpit and idea is to attach magnets to the base and to my cockpit frame so I can easily attach and remove the stick to rearrange the cockpit setup.
And since, as I understand, there are magnetic sensors inside the stick base my concern is possible interference from mounting magnets.

This is something that you'll have to try by yourself, as it's hard to say if they will interfere with the sensors or not.
