I recently got my new 3ds and have used it for maybe 5 ish hours so far and the red matt finish A button has worn smooth and glossy. It no longer has the nice rough feel of the other buttons and like i said looks glossy now. Anyone else got this?

I wash my hands every time before I use any of my controllers/handheld, what you mention is not normal unless you never wash your hands,. Human hands can get very greasy, I would suggest do what I do and just wash your hands from now on before gaming, it increases the lifespan of controllers and makes 3ds systems not look like a grease fest.

What you ask is not normal but will happen eventually but the shouldn't after only 5 hours, I have used my n3ds for at least 100 hours and the buttons aren't shiny but around the buttons it's starting to get slightly shiny but this is normal wear and tear the best thing to do is just wash your hands or if your O.C.D wear gloves lol.
