    Question Alt, Ctrl, Win keys act as Shift key

    Whenever a Ctrl, Alt or Win key is pressed, it counts as if Shift is pressed. Therefore, no shortcuts such as Ctrl+Alt+T work. Keycode is 50 for every button (Shift in my case)

    This happened after a fresh install of Kali 64bit on my PC.

    Specs & Info

    Linux v0id 4.14.0-kali3-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.14.17-1kali1 (2018-02-16) x86_64 GNU/Linux
    Asura Redragon Keyboard
    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 8gb

    **EDIT1**

    Already tried Aziokbd driver installation, which didn't work, and also redragonkbd driver that I found on the Internet. Both didn't work.

    **EDIT2**

    Code:
    xev
    output as I press Shift, Ctrl and then Alt keys

    Code:

    THIS WILL FIX IT:
    sudo modprobe usbmon
    sudo wireshark
    DONT ASK ME WHY !!!!! :P
