Ctrl vs CapsLock
From WikiVS, the open comparison website
Both CTRL and CapsLock are Keys on computer keyboards.
Different keyboards put these keys in different places.
The Microsoft Natural keyboard for example has a larger CTRL key on the bottom left corner, right where I like it.
Also, the caps lock key doesn't have to be a caps lock key. It's a very useful key to map as a mode changer in vim.
