Best keyboards/Mouse for web designers?

So I'm a PC User so i have Windows 8. Currently i have the worst keyboard for typing code and I'm not sure what to buy, so you guys that been coding for more time and know of a good keyboard to buy that works on windows and a mouse too.

my budget is 400 bucks for each. :)

Well thank you.

Solid keyboard http://www.amazon.com/Happy-Hacking-Keyboard-Professional2-Black/dp/B000EXZ0VC/ref=sr_1_11?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1432796349&sr=1-11&keywords=keyboard

And your mouse really shouldn't matter. If you take the time to learn Vim or Vintage mode in your editor, your hands will never have to leave the keyboard while you're typing...this takes years of practice though.

Good luck, Dylan
