Stevie Wonder playing a...?

Stevie Wonder pays tribute to Prince by playing Purple Rain on some kind of funky guitar imitating keyboard thing. Anyone have a clue what this is?

I think it's the Harpejji.

Stevie might have a unique prototype (etc.) in that video, as the one in that other video looked a little different than the ones that come up, but that may be the camera angle...hard to say.

Here's another video of Stevie with one:

Jordan Rudess getting a variety of different sounds/tonalities from one:
