No method currently. But my D key as well as a few others look glossy and shiny already..

Here are the only possible explanations:
1. You had greasy fingers.
2. You introduced something greasy or oily onto the keys.
3. You do not actually have PBT keycaps. Either you are the person who sold you the keyboard was mistaken, and you really got ABS.
Are you sure they're getting shiny? It could be the lighting in your room. Also, if they are laser etched, it may be wearing off. However, PBT keycaps definitely don't shine after a few days. It would take years of vigorous use for PBT to even begin to shine.
Well they are poker 2 stock caps that are PBT.
It can't be grease or anything like that because I don't eat at the computer or touch my computer equipment before washing my hands.
Well, I give up maybe I have acid fingers or it came like that and I didn't notice. Who knows.
Wash indeed! That will quickly tell whether it is just some artificially introduced substance, or whether they are really shining.
Try denture tabs.

Or pull caps and wash in soap and water in a bucket.
If they are still shiny and feeling greasy after being washed, then they are used ABS. You got scammed is all I can say. You did not get new PBT.
qTan is reputable, but the Poker has been known to come with all manner of different keys.
I haven't even heard of ABS going shiny after a few days.
The EK green set I am using now I have had for over a week, with a reasonable amount of usage, and even the space bar has absolutely no shine.

The contrast was way to low in the cave I work in, and I couldn't read the legends.
Now I have a LED lamp pointed at the keyboard and it has really brought the colour of the keycaps out, as well as making the legends clearer (although I had a few goes at positioning the lamp so the light did not reflect of the pad printing).
With the white light on them they are a really bright apple green - really nice actually!Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/fxEXxRK.jpg)

You should really try to post some pictures. And qtan is a very reputable seller.
Well they are poker 2 stock caps that are PBT.Acid fingers would be an awesome super power.

pour some water into a glass and add some salt. Throw one keycap from your poker into it. If it sinks it's pbt. If it stays on the top or sinks very slowly it's abs. This is how you'll know what keycaps you really have.
There is a video on youtube, and it's work. POM will also sink.pour some water into a glass and add some salt. Throw one keycap from your poker into it. If it sinks it's pbt. If it stays on the top or sinks very slowly it's abs. This is how you'll know what keycaps you really have.
I've never heard of this test, that's awesome.
