These switches have a physically different footprint from MX, right? Or is it an electrical reason why they’re not cross compatible?

No they're MX footprint but instead of closing a switch they're moving a magnet.

yeah it’s an interesting method- info on both switches says they’re only compatible with lekker and wooting boards and I’m wondering what the compatibility issue is

Its just a normal mx switch hollowed out and a magnet stuck in
