1/4" (6.3mm)

I found mine at Radio Shack.  Unfortunately, I had to buy packs that were half female, half male.

Maybe they are not allowed to sell them any other way owing to equality policy   ;D ;D

You can often find disconnects of various sizes in auto parts stores.

I ended up getting a bunch of .187s and .25s at an Auto Zone in town.
WANTED: Somebody to go back in time with me. This is not a joke. P.O. Box 322, Oakview, CA 93022. You'll get paid after we get back. Must bring your own weapons. Safety not guaranteed. I have only done this once before.

Lowes and Home Depot also sell some of these, although they may be mixed like you found at Radio Shack.

If it is about equality, don't let them know about the plethora of Joysticks out there.   ;D
