= double shift key paradoxon = The double shift key paradoxon is an often found anomaly on modern computer keyboards.

Symptom
Press and hold both shift keys and type all letters. Some of them don't work.

Examples
missing keys:
 * HP Pavilion dv8000: T, Z, Y, X, C, V, M, ;, :
 * mitsumi, kpq-e99zc-13: C, M, T, V, Y, Z

Explanation
It could be possibly explained by the electrical circuits of the keyboard, but this only very vague. This explanation doesn't tell why this happens on different keyboards from different vendors and with different keys. There must be some common reason.
