The AXiS-64 pro MIDI controller

It's a MIDI controller that has the notes so close together you can span 4 or 5 octaves with one hand. It's design is such that every scale and chord is the same shape no matter where.

I'll let Jordan Rudess of Dream Theatre explain this one:

What do you guys think of this?

I want one of those keyboards Rudess has that has pressure sensors in the keys. You can play with the dynamics of the notes you play by moving up and down the individual keys and adjusting the amount of force you press with.

^ I have two of those. Velocity-sensitive keys.

With my Korg, when you move your finger up and down the key the note actually slides lower or higher or you can switch between the two to produce a vibrato effect.
