Honest answer is probably that they intend to replace those dyes because people won't buy the products if they don't look appealing, and the food science, testing, sourcing, manufacturing changes and regulations all take some time. Sure, it might have been better to start years ago, but the 2nd best time to plant a tree is today.

I was comfortable in less than a week for gaming, it doesn't have enough keys for typing.

If you actually just want a keyboard for typing words with rather than gaming, stop here.

Keyboards weren't designed with gaming in mind, the layout is terrible, from WASD wasting the ability of your pinky and ring finger to totally wasting your thumb, there's a ton of sideways or angled movement that's just a little awkward. Even 4 directional key movement is such a waste, you dedicate the 4 easiest to use keys, but only use 1-2 at a time, and if you do need 2, it costs an extra finger. If you want a key entry device tailor made for gaming, you need to look at the Azeron Cyborg. Each finger has ergonomic access to 5-6 different keys with only slight movement (you could reasonably press 2 at the same time with 1 finger), while the thumb has access to 3 buttons as well as a hall effect thumbstick (map your WASD to this), all bindable however you'd like, including macros. Angles and distances of the device are also highly adjustable, so it can fit YOUR hand.

This kind of device is, in my opinion, as much an improvement over a keyboard as a mouse is over a thumbstick.

Disclaimer: This is an honest review, other than as a happy customer, I'm unaffiliated with the company. This is not intended to replace a keyboard for typing purposes.

If you only did a handful of runs, you likely didn't experience many, if any, of the various ways that persistently impact your run. It is also a game that have layers to it, the draft some rooms first layer ends up giving way to the puzzle second layer as you progress. It does a great job of giving you different ways to look at something that's old that suddenly makes it relevant again.

Honestly, the devoted community is pretty sure the whole game isn't even solved yet.
