I'm fairly sure that ADB keyboards can't use CAPSLOCK for CTRL.  The
hardware generates two events (down + up) when LOCK is pressed, and two
more (down + up) again when it's released.  (I spent days staring at and
modifying ADB and CUDA code a few years ago, and came to the conclusion
that there's nothing that software can do to turn this off.)
