USB to Keyboard port

Does anybody know where to get USB to keyboard port converters because my computer only has 2 usb ports and i have 3 usb devices (printer, mouse, and keyboard) and I thought converting my keyboard from usb to keyboard port would be the easiest thing to do but I cant seem to find the converters anywhere. Also I was wondering if they make such a thing as a multi usb thing that can plug into your usb and create more usb ports... like one of the surge protectors for outlets.

Thanks.

I know logitech Keyboards come with the adaptor, so if oyur up to getting one of those you can always look into USB Hubs. Try going to Newegg.com and in the search type in "USB Hub". as far as i know Belkin is a good brand to use

On another note, you can always pick up and install a USB card and get a USB 2.0 connection (They are drastically faster than 1.1). so long as you have a free expansion slot and they can be found for under $20

IMO, adding a USB hub, or adding a USB card (preferably USB 2.0) to an empty PCI slot, is a better solution than the adapter/converter you're looking for.

you can get something like this: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduc...104-801&depa=0

or a usb hub: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduc...150-012&depa=0

BTW, these are not recommendations, I'm just showing you some options you have.

I just went down my local Staples and bought a mini USB hub and it worked fine. Thanks for all your help.
