The stuff that "needs" global key events called "key logger".

If something _needs_ those events, they should use LL_HOOKs (keyboard and mouse). Constantly polling GetAsyncKeyState() doesn't guarantee anything and is a really bad practice. It's even bad to use that function to check state of the keys at any given point of time.
