Kaoss pad?

Nah.
He wants a controller to control the Korg Kronos, not just to be able to make sound while moving about.
(BTW, I assume you meant the Kaossilator loop synth, as the Kaoss Pad is an effects unit.)

Just customise a keytar steam-punk style:

I've considered mounting my keyboard on a Segway :lol:

That would be cool if you had a big enough stage. If not, you'll just have to go straight over the guitarist's pedals - give him some "overdrive" he'll never forget :)

Doing some tricks off of his whammy?

Yeah, unfortunately stage size stops these kinds of shenanigans at the moment :(

These are custom made by Elaine Walker [url="http://verticalkeyboards.com/index.html"]http://verticalkeybo....com/index.html[/url]
Controller keyboards stripped down to the playing surface, in order to allow the left hand to play from the opposite side like a guitar.
Also allows other playing positions including conventionally on a stand.

I love the idea of keytars but usually they seem awkwardly designed and often 'one handed'.

Here's a video of Elaine performing one of her songs using a microtonal (Bohlen-Pierce scale) version.
