These aren’t full metal buttons. They’re a hybrid resin and aluminum or copper mix. So less of an issue if it was a full metal button. You can customize it through polishing it desired, e.g., a brushed look, fully polished, raw (as it comes packaged). And yes, your finger oils will add to the end result as well.

As someone who modded his controller with metal buttons. Instant regret. It is not comfortable for extended gaming sessions.

The existing buttons are made out of a plastic that wears well when rubbing against their contact-points in the case. The plastics are chosen to be compatible, self-lubricating and “not spalling or rubbing eachother to death”.

I doubt that these metalized buttons have been tested for their long-term wear characteristics.

It looks cool but I wonder if they are comfortable to use?
