Never saw one specifically for keyboards. When I was looking for one for an existing mouse all I could find were USB-PS/2 adapters costing over $40. You can get the mouse with adapter for that much, but I'll bet that adapter only works with that mouse (Microsoft). The Microsoft adapter did not work with a Logitech USB mouse.

Did you try your mouse one on your keyboard? If it works, get another mouse with one.
