The location of a key is based on the keyboard's current language layout, whereas scancodes are the layout-independent representations of where the physical keys are.
For example, the key located where "q" is on a U.S. keyboard has the scancode "q". When using a U.S. keyboard layout it produces the key "q", but when using a French keyboard layout it produces the key "a".
Scancodes are useful for creating default controls that have the same physical locations on on all systems.
