To be honest dear that was not that great an idea, I mean what if then your laptop keyboard gets the same problem?
As far as Balaam,
Dear I don't now if my suggestion will help you or not but for sure I would ask you to try it before going for a new keyboard, as just getting a new stuff instead of fixing the old on is not a great idea what if the same problem come again and agian.... soon you will have a bulk of keyboards under your bed.
Dear the problem could be that your CTRL keys have been mapped to null character.
I guess it will sound a bet gizmo if you don't know about computers but anyway all you have to do is to go to your Registry by typing regedit in Run on start menu.
From there proceed to following path.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout
once you click on Keyboard Layout (check out for Keyboard Layouts, don't change anything there) there on the right hand pane you will see a Binary by the name of Scancode Map, double click on it and just paste/overwrite the following numbers there.
00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,03,00,00,00,1d,e0,1d,00,1d,00,1d,e0,00,00,00,00
(don't use the commas as its for your understanding of the code.)
Exit from registry and you are done.
That's a small trick we used to do when we were in first semester, we just mapped the entire keyboard to any Alphabet (ex. G) and what ever key you stroked only (G) was typed and people used to change their keyboards.... that was fun for some time...
