  20. Re:They're worthless. on Why Certifications Are Necessary (Even If Aggravating To Earn) · · Score: 1

    Yes the LEDs are under the computer's control. But that still doesn't make those LEDs "output devices" in the general sense of the word. You won't be storing or sending data to another standard device via those LEDs.

    Now, if the option would have been the classic printer port, I would have agreed with you because while it was designed as an output port, it still had input lines and standard devices were made to use it as an input/output port (such as scanners, ZIP drives, etc) and people even hacked SNES gamepads to work with it.

    While those lights on keyboards are technically outputs, they're only indicators and you won't be outputting actual data with them. Not with standard hardware anyway.
