There's no such thing as a "gaming" keyboard. Most "gaming" branded things are just regular keyboards with fun lights attached to them so they can sell them for more money.
The best keyboards are mechanical keyboards. They're usually not branded as "gaming keyboards" although they sometimes are. It really depends on what kind of switch you personally like, my favorite are blues. There's reds, browns, blacks, greens, blues, clears, etc. Really whichever you like is up to you.
Prices really just depend on the brand. I advise you stay away from Razer unless you get their keyboards on sale or something. (Like my scrub ass
).
Gaming mice *kind of* are a thing. The only real difference is that they most likely have a higher quality laser that lasts longer and offers better response times. But there are some really good "gaming" mice that are on the market for like $30. You don't need to spend more than that kind of money on a mouse unless you really want the extra buttons for mmo's or something of that nature.
