Today I got a new keyboard for my Thinkpad SL510, I noticed though that my Ctrl key wasn't working, I tried both and neither worked, but when I used both and pressed v also, it typed "5v" with other key combos it does other things, so the keys themselves cannot be physically broken as nothing happens when I just use one and press v other than v being typed, I plugged in an external keyboard and the Ctrl keys on that worked perfectly, this only happened after I rebooted, a reboot is not helping either, What can I do? my guess is it is a problem with keyboard layout.

List of key combos with both ctrls that happen: c+F2, m+6, v+5, x+F1, z+~, >+F8, and <+= – Robert Wagner Sep 13 '17 at 23:02
Weird. My best suggestion would be to check your keyboard layout is correct in settings - and maybe your bios if it was sold outside the US.

Nope, didn't work, I changed the keyboard layout multiple times but none worked. – Robert Wagner Sep 13 '17 at 23:52
