I was wondering if there ever was a PC PS2 type mouse

old 386 or previous AT type computers?
I know there were bus mice, but thats not the same.
The reason I am asking is because I have a PS2 KVM switch and want to
get my 386/DX40 computer connected to it (it doesnt have a ps2
header).
Wouldn't it just be easiest to get an PC-AT to PS/2 adapter? They're
common as dirt, most new keyboards from a few years ago (and probably
many still do) came with adapters to allow you to use PS/2 keyboards
on older systems. Searching for "AT PS/2 keyboard adapter" in Google
yields pages of results.
Here's an example (I don't know anything about this vendor, so this
isn't an endorsement):

I don't ever recall seeing a separate PS/2 port expansion card. I do
remember there being Microsoft Inport busmouse ISA cards. They use a
mini DIN connector, but the pin counts and signals are different from
PS/2.
