Not these specifically, you can get them at Home Depot or many places. This link was mostly just for the photo. But using them is so much easier than trying to wire directly to the buttons, joysticks, etc. And if you're like me, you'll wire the joystick backwards the first time. Fixing that is very easy with these quick connect guys.

Yeah, I'm definitely getting those.  I got a nice set of ratcheting crimpers so, hopefully it will go smoothely.  Now I'm in limbo waiting for vinyl graphics to use as a template.

You should get the ones with red insulation for smaller gauge wires.  Yellow for large, blue for med and red for small.  Also make sure the connectors will fit on your switches.  They come in different sizes.
