Techniques for illumination of input/output (I/O) ports on a compute device are disclosed. In an illustrative embodiment, microholes are defined in a chassis around an opening in the chassis for an I/O port. A light-emitting diode (LED) contained within the chassis can shine light on the microholes, which can pass through the microholes. A user of the compute device can see the light through the microholes, allowing the user to identify the location and type of the I/O port, even in dark or low-light conditions. In some embodiments, the LEDs used to illuminate the microholes may be the same LEDs that illuminate the keys of the keyboard, simplifying the design, construction, and control of illumination of the microholes.
