Haha! Yes.. lets just say its not possible
AWT/Swing was not designed for games, and they will not work the way you want for most games.
What you want is a polling mechanism not an IoC event handling mechanism. So, java game programmers have created a new api to resolve these issues: JInput (which also supports game controller/joysticks etc...)
You might have to do some reading to learn how to use it. You might even have to restructure your code to use it (..or maybe not). But it will be worth the effort.
