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, pressing the key located where "q" is on a U.S. keyboard will produce the key "q" and the scancode "q" when using a U.S. keyboard layout, but when using a French keyboard layout it will produce the key "a" and the scancode "q".
Scancodes are useful for creating default controls that have the same physical locations on on all keyboards and systems.
