I have Xubuntu 16.04 and have recently bought a new keyboard -- MODECOM VOLCANO GAMER. I plugged it and it works great except the fact that CTRL, ALT and WINDOWS KEY work the same way as SHIFT does. It means I ma unable to use most keyboard shortcuts.

I tried a solution posted on this website, but unfortunately it did not work: CTRL and ALT works as SHIFT?

I think problem is with default anti-ghosting setting. I am using Mint 18.2 and I had same problem with MODECOM VOLCANO GAMER keyboard on my system. By default keyboard have 87 anti-ghosting keys enabled. After I switched to 6 anti-ghosting keys, it works like charm (Fn + SL | key between PS and PB, it has 6/104key label on it).

i feel that you should look into have they correct keyboard layout in use. I could be wrong with that, but have had problems with that myself before and that solved it.
