thunderbolt 2 to usb adapter
I am on a late 2013 iMac and would like to find an adapter to go from Thunderbolt2 to USB. Does one exist?

I'm assuming you've just run out of USB ports and what was already stated in this thread is correct: you just need to get a USB hub and they are pretty inexpensive. Ideally you should get a slightly fancier powered usb hub that has its own power supply. Those range from $15-$40 on Amazon.

However, to answer your direct question, you can get what is essentially a mini-dock that can plug into Thunderbolt and gives you a USB3 port, but it's the size of a large adapter as opposed to a larger proper dock:

There are no simple adapters, but a Thunderbolt dock will have USB ports.
if it existed and a thunderbolt dock would both be wastly more expensive then you just getting a normal usb hub https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Port-2-5A-power-adapter/dp/B00DQFGH80
