As topic, how to prevent? my few months old keyboard, during office was connected to external keyboard but still it get oily look often. I saw my friends one all turn to shinny keys which feel


Help and share some links how you maintain it

Use silicone cover

Can try wiping, but be very careful not to use wet medium. Just soft enough and gently wipe. Ensure your hand are not greasy. But eventually they will turn shinny if heavy typing.

Keyboard protect might work but some will leave marking on your screen. Be very careful on them.

Apple Macbooks using ABS plastic with matte finish for their keyboard.

Eventually ABS plastic will wear down overtime from friction and finger oils thus lead to shining.

To prevent is just a simple keyboard protector but somehow will have other issue with your screen if closed due to thickness.
