FYI, if you're going to do as Wayne suggests and just turn the display off aiming a light at it (saving battery drain also) red is NOT the color that best enhances night vision if that matters to you.
Cabin lights [and cockpit lights too] in C=130's were red to keep from affecting our night vision capabilities on jump nights. I was under the impression that red affected nightvision less than other colors. We were all colorblind [still are :-)], maybe it didn't matter for us.
I can discern the numeric keypad labels on my K3 only with strong light from an angle. They seem to be just a tad shinier than the button body.
