Five months later... I recently repaired and upgraded some hardware in my laptop and reinstalled Windows, and found that the CTRL keys still "fall asleep" periodically, so it seems the problem is not caused by SMBX. However, today I played SMBX for the first time since reinstalling windows, and afterwards the CTRL key problem is noticeably worse. (Previously the CTRL keys would be unresponsive once in five times I try to use it, and they would "wake up" after hitting CTRL about 5 times; now they are unresponsive 4 out of 5 times and it might take 30 keypresses at least before they start to respond, though a moment later they're "asleep" again.)
Since SMBX isn't causing the problem per se, I don't expect to get a clear diagnosis here. But I'd still be interested in hearing any theory of what might cause such a thing!
