Solaar: Logitech Craft - switch off background light permanently

[meson11]

Switching off background light with the fn key is not permanently. light is on after keyboard has slept. Is there a way to switch the light off permanently? If not, it would be a nice to have function, like the fn switch, in solaar.

[barolo]

someone would have to sniff it out from Logitech options on either mac or windows I guess [ which have such option ]

[barolo]

Here are the sniffed out packets, when disabling and enabling back-light via Logitech Options [ with Wireshark/USBPcap ]
it's a wireshark file, not sure how useful as I'm completely green to this
backlight.pcapng.gz

P.S. noticed that there are even more options now, like disabling certain keys [ caps, win, etc. ]

Can you paste the output of solaar show?

It uses the 0x1982 (Backlight 2) HID++ 2.0 feature. We need to add support for that.
