I have an Apple (wired aluminum) Keyboard (using with Mac mini).
Left Shift + [
does not work (to type {
). But Right Shift + [
works.
Left Shift
key is working for all the other keys.
I tried this keyboard with my laptop and the behavior is same.
I assumed it is hardware problem. I tried disconnecting and cleaning from outside and shaking off dust and debris.
What other measures should I take to correct this malfunction? or this keyboard is gonna die?
One of the other strange behavior is on USB connection, the keyboard automatically types -
until I presses a key. (only on Mac Mini)

I think it was Keyboard Ghosting problem. You can read more here
The problem was solved after I have tried pressing the key combinations (involving non-working key, in my case
[
).There are a lot of combinations and so I don't include it here. In case it disappeared, here is the archive version on the archive.org.
