Trying to use Logitech G15 wit iMac Issues
I think with the G15 the Alt and Windows keys might be reversed - see if that makes a difference.
I have a G15 but I haven't tried hooking it up to the Mac (because it's a laptop) but I guess I could try it.

They operate correctly when I use them directly from the keyboard. Both the alt key and the control key + what ever number does work. It's the play back that's losing something in the translation with CoH/CoV. What I've been doing is holding down the Control key and hitting the Gkey I want to activate and it works just fine. I even tried to program the Gkey by hitting the Alt key or Control key once then held it down and the number I wanted. It's still not executing the alt or control key, just the number programmed along with either of them.

I'm at a total loss. I even swapped out the G15 for another one I have here and still the same issue.
Thank for your help.

Cider (the translator that allows CoH to run in a Mac environment) uses its own method for detecting keys that works differently from the Mac. It has some weird key mappings, and often doesn't detect certain special keys or mouse buttons at all.

I've been trying to figure out an issue I keep having with my Logitech G15 on my iMac. First, I do not like using the iMac keyboard. It's too small for my fat fingers. I've been using the G15 on my Dell for a few years now and have grown very use to it. I followed the direction on the Logitech website to run it on Mac Snow Leoperd and so far everything seems to work except the G keys for my binds. It also only seems to be when I'm using CoH/CoV that this issue shows up. Other programs seem to work just fine with the G keys.
The G keys work if I bind to normal keys. Once I introduce the Alt or Ctrl key, it ignors it. So if I program the G1 key to <ATL+1> it only works as <1>. Same with the control key. Yet, if I use the Alt or Control key it works just fine. I look at the keystrokes or quick macro programming and it shows correctly. I even record the quick macro and as I do, the power activates correctly as I record it, but if I try to replay it, I'm back to the same issue again. I know that CoH is not one of the supported games for their pre-programmed profiles or I'd try that. Is there something that CoH needs to be told to accept input from the programmed G keys?
Thank You for your help!
