moving around isn't stage presence, have good posture and try to look good
bolt your keyboard to the stand, bolt the stand to a wide metal base. now you can do donkey kicks and handstands and shit like Casino Madrid or Enter Shakari
Wear a cape
play guitar
Dance like Lukas Wooller

Idk OP seems like you've pretty much got it covered
I can't speak for anyone else but I'm planning to aesthetemaxx like SOPHIE, fuck the seethers the OTT femfag look is based and futuristic, if we have to live in a clown world I'm gonna make damn sure I look the part to the max
i play modular synth with a band live and usually stand at the back of the stage with my head down getting really into it and not looking up much. usually just sway along to the music and if there's a dissonant part in the song i'll hit the keys with my palms and play random notes fast and forcefully
don't pay much attention to the crowd, my band has two singer/guitarists so most people don't pay much attention to me, which is nice.
stab your keyboard
it worked for Keith Emerson
Professionalism
see: ben folds, glenn gould, flatlander, dude from foxy shazam, jack conte in scary pockets, jerry lee lewis, keith jarrett

You could try an unconventional route. Ron Mael from Sparks stays as still as possible while glaring menacingly for whole shows, with a Hitler moustache. When Eno was in Roxy Music he stayed in the back dressed in weird outfits working the keyboards. Both have good stage presence.
