Errr... Joker ?
Which one is better?
:)
Kenshington Slimblade or expert?
I'd like to buy one of the two.
And, I know slimblade's lack of programmable buttons is updated.

P.s. I use Mac Osx and windows.
to use logic and cubase
You do have 2-button combos on the Slimblade. Currently I have my slimblade set up for left hand use, with the upper left button as middle click and upper right as play/pause. Pressing both upper buttons will skip to the next song and the two lower buttons will skip to previous song, but you can make them to pretty much what you want.
His window seems to be a skinned version of windows, not OS X, but I could be wrong.Yeah, it's just win7 with a custom theme.
Have you installed the January 13 2013 update of the TrackballWorks Software?

Surnia - that's the problem! Mine is a revision 1.05 when looking at TrackballWorks. It may be time to shell out some dough if I can guarantee that I get a revision 1.07. I don't want to go through Kensington proper since they charge $130 USD, but if I go through another vendor, I'll have to plead my case to make sure it is a 1.07 or it is a guaranteed RMA. Decisions decisions...oh and good looking out/thanks for the help. ;D
Hmmm I've really been wanting to buy a Kensington Slimbalde but I've heard that you can't customize the top 2 buttons just yet so I've been holding back :\ Hopefully they'll release a newer version.

Yes you can? If you look at my screenshot earlier in the thread you can clearly see that it's possible to rebind all the buttons.

I actually saw that a couple weeks back and totally forgot about it when I re-saw this thread :)) Let me read it again :P Thanks!
Btw, will this require some kind of firmware update?

No, it should work like that out of the box. Plug in the trackball, install TrackBallWorks and you're good to go.
Although you should be careful if you're planning on finding a used one due to the issues mentioned in this thread; older models don't allow for chording.
If you buy one new it shouldn't give you any problems.
Just a small question, Which of these two devices require lighter button press?

I began using a Slimblade after using an Expert Mouse for two years. The switches seemed harder to push on the Slimblade but that may be because I may not have been hitting the sweet spot on the buttons. The SB buttons are an integral part of the case top, where the EM has a more complex button structure which may offer less resistance over the entire surface of the button. If you press the SB buttons at the 3:00 and 9:00 position it is lightest because it is the greatest distance from the pivot point but resistance increases as you get closer to the hinge point.
I didn't use the Slimblade in its natural form long enough to get use to that.

The physics of the EM button seems to lend itself to a larger sweet spot.
