There are no magnets in the current GGTS switch. For the older version of the switch there was a magnet upgrade available, but this magnets didn't fit well into the new switch and this magnets are not longer available too.
Ok here is some info.
This info is a quote from Para
Diameter: 5.5mm
Center hole: 3.5mm
Thickness: 2.0mm

Imeo gave these specs
3,2-3,5mm hole and 5mm external diameter. 2-2,5mm fat

Finally many of us have used these magnets.
Gaussboys Super Magnets :: Rings :: 6mm x 3.5mm x 2mm N38 Nickel Plated Neodymium Magnet - Ring
Granted if you order those I would advise ordering a bunch. I ordered 20 and out of the 20 about 17 of them would work 3 of them were actually to big dia to fit in the button which didn't suprise me as Imeo recomends 5mm dia and these are 6 and like Para mentioned the origional GG ones he measured are 5.5. Also as a side note the newish style button (non adjustable throw) can only take 2 of these magnets which makes the button press extremely soft.

Yes softer, and I use two magnets in my SSGGTS switch. The throw and resistance is perfect for me. But I cheated and pulled the 3 three magnets from my older GGTS and switched it with the spring from my newer SSGGTS. If I am not using it at all, I typically lock the button. I have not had any unintentional firing. I went with this because I use my GGTS so much, my hand would get a little uncomfortable from continued use in certain positions that I like to use my GGTS. Not any more. I also like the longer throw older switch with magnets or a spring.
This is one of the things great about a GG, little modifications to your liking that make it a better PV for you to use

I'm using the Gaussboys magnets in my Stealth's button. Two went in, not so easy-peasy cuz the one kept jumping out from the magnetic force.. stupid little bugger. But I got them in there eventually and it's working just fine. I ordered a bag of them, I think I got 20 or so... first two I tried fit in fine.
I can see though if they were even just a tiny bit out of spec (slightly larger diameter) they wouldn't fit, because the ones I used just fit in.

Yes, the magnet upgrade that I bought early this yr for my nickle GG - fit with the new button. Only takes two of the three magnets. I took them out as I preferred the spring.

Two magnets in the new button on my ss stealth makes it so the button travel is too short to contact the center pole. Back to the spring on that one. It seems like the 'head' of the button has a longer threaded portion and this cuts down on the open space inside the switch.
