What Keyboard + Mouse to get as A1?

Want to upgrade from my sh*tty bank supplied keyboard and mouse to get a mechanical keyboard + decent mouse - what are the top recommendations? I know almost nothing about mechanical keyboards + "good" mice for IB - so any recommendations would be great

I don’t know about a mechanical keyboard i think the important part is zero lag and durability and the standard issue logitech keyboard (remove the keys you don’t want) is pretty ideal. I might be missing something though let me know

 

Interested here too. 

I'm a consultant deep into market modeling for CDDs. Got myself a Logitech MX Master mouse – catches flak from gamers, but it's a solid productivity boost for work. Now, I'm stuck on picking a mechanical keyboard. Mostly worried about annoying team members with the sound though.

The keyboard community is all about looks and sounds, not what works for professional services. Any advice on a good mech keyboard for work?
