Trying to use Logitech G15 wit iMac Issues

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!

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.
