No resistors are used to limit the current in keyboards?

Hello everyone, I just designed a 35% keyboard PCB which uses Teensy 2.0 as the controller.
And I just realized there are no resistors used in the keyboards to limit the current flow between input and output pins.

Is this because the controller input has high impedance?

To have some numbers: atmega internal pull-ups should be about 50k.

Yup and I also checked that the maximum input/output current is 40mA. Thanks!
