I have a Logitech G302, a fine mouse. However, it glows blue, and the intensity increases and decreases. This can be distracting and I would like to turn off the lighting inside the mouse. How can I do this? The software that normally controls it is only available for OSX and Windows.

Since most Logitech gaming mice store the mouse profile and settings on the mouse, you can use a Windows or Mac OS to install the Logitech Gaming Software and configure your mouse how you want it. Once you're done, you can unplug the mouse and plug it into the Linux system, and it will still have the same desired behavior.
If you only have access to a Linux OS and you want to change your mouse configuration, you can try to download and install Piper mouse configuration utility.

I was able to turn off the LEDs of my G703 with Piper on Ubuntu. – Philipp – 2020-02-10T08:44:28.463
Which Linux distro are you using? You could try Piper mouse configuration utility. There are also a few other posts where people have used xbindkeys, which is for Arch, but other have had success using it on Ubuntu.

Do you have gcc installed? Try
gcc -vorwhich gccIf nothing shows up dosudo apt-get install gccand thensudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev– DrZoo – 2018-07-10T04:06:15.377I've got gcc installed already , the issue i guess is that meson is looking in the wrong place for it? Someone in an IRC told me to apt-get install build-essential which works - until meson tells me that "native dependency libudev not found". – mc-lunar – 2018-07-10T04:21:48.377
libudevcan be installed bysudo apt-get install libudev-dev libsystemd-dev.... I hate configuring compilers lol. – DrZoo – 2018-07-10T04:24:32.357Which version/mint flavor are you using? – DrZoo – 2018-07-10T04:28:32.997
Thanks mate, it got a little further this time... now it tells me libevdev isn't found. lol. i'm gonna keep plugging away at installing everything it tells me i don't have, hopefully it ends soon! :P
i'm on mint 19 xfce – mc-lunar – 2018-07-10T04:30:59.760
This is wild, it's telling me I don't have python3 installed...which is definitely not true. – mc-lunar – 2018-07-10T04:33:18.793
Did you get my chat notification? – DrZoo – 2018-07-10T04:33:46.027
I did not but i just opened a chat between us, I think. – mc-lunar – 2018-07-10T04:35:21.363
Let us continue this discussion in chat.
