Click on a window, and drag your mouse outside its bounds, and release the button. The window does not get the mouse release event, and your mouse buttons is now out of synch. Press a keyboard button down, click with the mouse on some other window, and release the keyboard button, your keyboard is now out of synch.
I personally find it annoying when a game gets out of synch with the hardware like that, so as a user, I'd prefer to have buffer nonetheless.
