Edward,

Sure, no problem, I've added the source code to the zip archive:

https://xywwweb.ammaze.net/dls/unstickkeys.zip

In terms of settings, I guess the threshold question is whether the
visual "flag" is simply a distraction when it pops up, or whether the
underlying unstick operation is actually interfering with manual
keyboard input. If the former, then starting UnstickKeys.exe with the
/QQ or /QQQ option may be all that's required (this suppresses the flag
in all cases except when holding down Numpad 5). This option should be
promising because, in my testing at least, the virtual unstick does not
interfere with a manual press of a shifting key. For example, if you
hold down Ctrl, it will stay Down (although the flag will keep popping
up every n seconds, unless you opt to /Quash it).

If the program is interfering with keyboard input, then try increasing
the value of the first argument, the number of seconds in the Down
position that qualifies a key as "stuck". The default value is 5, so
maybe try 7 or 10. If that doesn't help, then if you would describe the
misbehavior in detail I could try to address it. Alternatively, if you
modify the source in a way that helps, I'd be eager to know what the
mod is.
