Only for the record, Sandisk is probably the (only) outsider.
Most (if not all) other brands use "commonly available commercially" chips[1], and "standard" architectures/PCB's while Sandisk is known for using "proprietary" stuff or anyway they "protect" them very tightly, AFAIK it is one of the few (possibly only) manufacturer for which there are not (official or leaked/third party) diagnostic/utility/manufacturer tools.
Usually each brand have tens of different models, and each one, even a same model but different version/revision may use one chip or the other.
Kingston is traditionally linked to Phison, so very likely those sticks have a Phison controller inside which are used by a number of other brands, so an incompatibility with Mikrotik would have probably been discovered and reported already.
