Here are some pictures from GGG and Ultimarc. You may want to print them to show the people at the hardware store exactly what you're looking for.

Wow... Is that service or is that service? ;D
One last question... The screws I use are the "auto screwin" ones that start etting into the wood as you screw them. For these inserts how do you get them into the wood and to stay in it nice and ight? Is there a pre-hole or something I don't see/understand?

Installation directions from GGG:
--- Quote ---Can be used in Plywood, MDF and other wood panels of at least 10mm (.400") in thickness. Kit comes with 4 inserts and mated screws per joystick and one installation tool per hardware kit.
Not Included, but required:
Drill Bits - 1/8" (pilot) and 5/16"
Drill (Hand or Press)
Marker or tape to gauge drill depth
Philips Head Screwdriver
Joysticks
Installation is simple. Mark your holes, using the joystick base as a template. Then drill a pilot hole to keep the large bit from wandering. Control the depth by marking the desired depth on the drill bit with a marker, or by creating a "stop" by wrapping the bit tightly with tape at the desired distance from the end of the bit. Care should be taken to drill the holes as straight and true as possible. Align the insert with the hole and screw it straight into the hole. Do not overtighten! When all inserts are installed, just attach the joystick base to the panel using the supplied screws.
