What's with the trackball brightness?

What's with the trackball and hard buttons singular brightness level? When my screen is completely dim because there is little to no ambient light, the last thing I want is the trackball blinding me like high beams from oncoming traffic. Does this irritate anyone else like it irritated me?

Bugs me too. No fix that I'm aware of other then to cover it with your hand!
