Check a local electronic store, such as radio shack or compusa

compusa had only one kind and the price was $29.99. Too much for my cheapass, I could have just bought a USB keyboard for that much
You want something like that?: http://www.pcmicrostore.com/PartDetail.aspx?q=p:10501002 Shipping on it isn't too good, but if they can sell it for 5, you should check out a local PC shop and see if they can't get it for you for a similar price.

Radio Shack (http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=CTLG&product%5Fid=26-226) has this one for under 14, w/3.50 for shipping. i beleive they have a different, cheaper brand in-store though.

If you have a Big Lots in your area, they have one for 5.99 that works for keyboards and mouses. That's where I got mine from.

The ones that comes with mice are USB to PS/2 not PS/2 to USB.

i picked one up from radioshack last night. He gave me a discount, so it came to $9. I probably could have got it cheaper but i needed it. Works great, its the one in the radioshack link
