Ctrl key acting as though it's stuck being pressed? New xps 17
I just got my new XPS 17 2 days ago, it was bought brand new off the Dell website.
Randomly it will act as though I'm holding down the ctrl key, when I haven't pressed it at all, and usually tapping both ctrl keys a few times gets it to stop.
Why is my laptop doing this? Is there anything I can do to solve it? I really don't want to have to send it back already, I was so excited to get it :(
Sticky keys is NOT on, by the way.
Any help is much appreciated. :)

Just got a brand new Inspiron 14R and having the same problem. SO FRUSTRATING, and can't figure out what's causing it (I also ensure the sticky keys option is off). Just got off an hour conversation with Dell support with no solution. Any help apprecaited.

Some of teh keys on the new XPS seem hyper sensitive. The delete key is another. I am not as happy with this model as my previous two, purely because of teh function of teh keyboard. I also think that teh large Control Key on the left might be reacting to my resting palm.
