Comment(by dnastase):

 Yesterday I realized that my Ctrl key got stuck too. That's when I found
 this ticket.
 I'm curios what the Quanta factory guys will discover. Maybe there is a
 fix and we don't need to use the RMA. I really wouldn't want to part with
 this little guy :(

 In the meantime I applied the following trick so that I can still use the
 laptop:

 The following little .xmodmap disables the Ctrl key and sets as Ctrl key
 the left palm key (which is really mapped as Super_L by default):

 remove Control = Control_L
 remove mod4 = Super_L

 keycode 37 =
 keycode 133 = Control_L

 add Control = Control_L
