Not (only) because it's embossed in the plastic: the C= logo replaces the "filled A" character on the left Amiga key in these keyboards (and early US design A2000 ones).

The name chicken lips to describe the logo actually comes from Commodore engineers back in the day.

But originally it just meant the Commodore logo, this A500 with molded logo + NMB keyboard = chickenlips thing seems to have come into parlance in the last 5 years or so.

we have got here one of these A500 Rev3 machines ;-) ... chick lips with the C= key on the left instead of Amiga key.

the following test program gives a different result on a A500 Rev3 board compared to boards with other revisions including A1000

https://github.com/dirkwhoffmann/vAmiga/issues/711

the main question is "do all chick lips Rev3 Boards exhibit this difference?"

In case you have access to a A500 Rev3 board, could you please run the test and help to shed some light on whether this is a systematic difference of board revision3 or if its just a single machine which has an electric flaw ? Thank you very much in advance…

(if we discover here a yet undocumented difference then we might see a A500 chick lips mode in emulators soon I guess
