This is the Alu case right? Did I read it correctly that it will only support alps?

Ok, so this is something that I have to clear up
There are three case options. An aluminum case which is the one pictured, a bent steel and an integrated steel case. The aluminum case has a separate plate whereas the bent case and integrated plate are basically the case and plate in a single structure.
The plates are different for ALPS and MX. I decided to go with separate plates for each switch mount because of the number of keys packed together for different layouts would make the plate basically ineffective for some alps keys and you'll basically be completely supported by the PCB, which in areas withs lots of layouts, is akin to swiss cheese.
So the CNC case itself will be the same for alps and mx mount, just with different plates. If you wanted to, you could purchase a second PCB/plate in a different mount and swap it into the case. The bent plate and integrated case will be cut for differently for MX and alps switches, therefore, if you get an alps compatible bent plate or integrated case, you won't be able to do anything to use it with MX switches.
I feel that this could be a little more clear and would like some feedback on how this should be explained before I start the GB so that nobody is confused.
