What is the correct posture / handle on a small Keyboard / Controller (ex: microKorg)
What's your advice on proper handling of small keyboards, like Korg's microKorg?

I'm asking because I find it particularly difficult and unnatural to play on smaller keys even when the keyboard is just sitting on my lap, or a table (which ends up being quite higher than the average keyboard height).

How do you go about making a Mod-Wheel'ed keyboard performance? Is there solid stands designed for small keyboards that could help?

Thanks!

I feel your pain; I frequently use a korg microSTATION, so I've had headaches over how awkward the microkeys are as well.

Unfortunately, the only solution is the obvious one: either raise yourself, or lower the keyboard. In my studio, I put my keyboard on a shelf that's adjusted so that the height of the korg matches the height of my desk and other keyboards. If I must use a normal table, I'll try to sit cross-legged to raise my body to the point where using the keyboard is comfortable.

On stage, thankfully, normal el-cheapo keyboard stands work well for me (my keyboard is somewhat longer than yours). If I had to give you a direction to look in, I'd suggest finding a column keyboard stand. They tend to be more expensive, but they also tend to be able to accommodate smaller keyboards.
