    Hi,

    Couple of questions, what OS are you on, what kind of KB do you have, and is it only the Left CTRL?

    I can't find any close up pics of your KB, but it does look like you have a Function Lock key? And it also looks like your CTRL key has another character on it below the CTRL? Can't really see. Is it possible the Function Lock key is making your CTRL another function? I can't see the KB closely enough to tell if this is the case.

    If you've ruled all that out, I'd try uninstalling/reinstalling the Logitech Software if you are using that. Could also attempt to just use it without that Logitech stuff and see if the problem persists.
