New keyboards cost about $15-$25 for a decent model. Any sort of adaptor cable or plug could be found at a Fry's Electronics (Radio Shack doesn't seem to be the go-to source for cables since they emerged from bankruptcy) or CDW ( https://www.cdw.com/shop/products/C2G-USB-to-PS2-Adapter-keyboard-mouse-adapter/2759903.aspx?cm_cat=GoogleBase&cm_ite=2759903&cm_pla=NA-NA-CTG_US&cm_ven=acquirgy&ef_id=VgIEGgAAAfNGv6gI:20151021000124:s&gclid=CjwKEAjwzJexBRCa_pGo8IK0ilASJABfGldb4bJFD01At6vJBUiWzNBSU7dAw4fHidAuBd4-tnipUBoC3rfw_wcB&s_kwcid=AL!4223!3!61836302299!!!g!90382625776!) but those sorts of cables do tend to cause lags, errors, and other issues more than they should.
