PBT Keycap Quality?

Anyone else have issues with their Razer PBT Upgrade kit? I have been using mine for a little over two weeks and my space bar is SHINY and the material has completely worn out. My WASD keys aren’t far behind.

Razer claims that they never get shiny or smooth, but uhhhhh...two weeks makes me think I just got an awful set not even made out of PBT?

Every keycap will get shiny if used frequently, even the PBT ones (but this will get slower, than ABS keycaps).
Post a pic, we'll see how it looks.
Well that’s a bummer, would’ve expected more than 2 weeks based on the Razer website.
My keycaps have gotten shiny as well before but a good clean of each individual keycap does the job.

Hmmm, that seems odd. I have the stock keys on my Blackwidow Ultimate 2013 BF4, which I believe are made of ABS. They're still not shiny at all, apart from the front edges of some keys if you really look close.
The only thing I can think of is that something like oil, moisturising cream etc were on your fingers which caused them to turn shiny. Sunscreen might do that.
