Found it:
[SuppressUnmanagedCodeSecurity]
public class KeyState
{
[DllImport("user32.dll")]
static extern short GetKeyState(int nVirtKey);
public static bool GetKeyPressed(Keys key)
{
short state =3D GetKeyState((int) key);
return state !=3D 0;
}

Just a bit disappointed the Keyboard class doesn't return it...
