How can I turn the lights off?

On devices that supports RGB colors, you can turn the lights off by setting the black color to the LED.

Example with Rival 100:

rivalcfg --color=black

Example with Rival 300:

rivalcfg --logo-color=black --wheel-color=black

On devices that have monochrome LEDs, you can turn the lights off using the LED brightness option.

Example with the Sensei [RAW]:

rivalcfg --led-brightness=off

Example with the Kana v2:

rivalcfg --led-brightness1=off --led-brightness2=off

Look at the page dedicated to your device for more about available CLI options.

On devices that supports RGB colors, just set a darker color (e.g. #880000 instead of #FF0000 for a darker red).

Example with Rival 100:

rivalcfg --color=880000

On devices that have monochrome LEDs, use the LED brightness option.

Example with the Sensei [RAW]:

rivalcfg --led-brightness=low

Look at the page dedicated to your device for more about available CLI options.

Rivalcfg only supports hardware features of the devices, so there is two possibilities:

Your device do not support this feature by hardware, so the SteelSeries Engine sends color command to the mouse several times per second. As Rivalcfg is only a library and a CLI tool, not a deamon, it cannot support this feature. But you can implement it yourself with a Bash script or using the Python API.
Your device has an hardware support of this feature, but this functionnality is not supported yet by Rivalcfg. In that case, please consider contributing to this project! 😁️
