Custom wireless joystick (capacitive touch buttons)

I need a device that shows up as a Bluetooth/wireless joystick (game controller).

However, instead of a game controller that has a joystick w/ buttons I need 8 capacitive touch switches.

I am writing a game similar to the piano tiles game, and want a custom controller for it.

I can handle the software for the game (I can code it to use a regular joystick for the input), but I have no idea where to start for the hardware side. Is there already a wireless joystick kit I could start with, then modify it for 8 capacitive touch switches instead of regular buttons?
