In my game, I want to be able to use the right and left shift keys for different functions. In Java (or another language), is there any way to distinguish between those two?
The KeyEvent class has only VK_SHIFT, which corresponds to both left and right shift keys. Same with Control, Alt, Enter, etc.
My primary concern is someone may be able to use two fingers to rapidly press both keys at the same time, gaining an unfair advantage. Should I be concerned about this?

I found a Java tutorial that includes a Java WebStart sample and the source code. Looks like the winner is KeyEvent.getKeyLocation()
KeyEvent.KEY_LOCATION_STANDARD
KeyEvent.KEY_LOCATION_LEFT
KeyEvent.KEY_LOCATION_RIGHT
KeyEvent.KEY_LOCATION_NUMPAD
KeyEvent.KEY_LOCATION_UNKNOWN
