I have msi stealth 15M. Sadly the msi dragon center does not work on ubuntu. Hance i cant disable the keyboard lights that drain my battery very fast. Any idea how I can fix this problem?
I tried to install msi-keyboard via "sudo apt-get install msi-keyboard" but there is no application for it.
Thank you
Koromix command line (meestic) worked for me:
I'm running Linux Mint on a MSI GL76 (same mystic 1562 keyboard as Stealth 15M) and I had wasted an entire 3 day trying everything I could find on the web, in vain. My keyboard would always remain with a bright blue light on, until I tried meestic. I'm sooo glad. Thanks Koromix !

I do not own any laptop with RGB backlight, but some googling give the following results:

Be careful with application - read read the warning first.
You can install this OpenRGB application using package from special PPA as follows:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:thopiekar/openrgb
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openrgb
and then check its functionality with your "MSI Mystic Light Sync" capable hardware.
I found this script msi-mystic-1563.py in this repo. It works with me gitlab.com/CalcProgrammer1/OpenRGB/-/issues/2289#note_947399598 I changed the PID to 1562 to match with my model. Have fun
