or better a simple keyboard?

mouse

We don't even know where on earth you're located, and we're supposed to give you tips on where to buy hardware?
You can't be that clueless..where did you buy your pc?

Things can be ordered and bought from the internet worldwide, you know... Doesn't always need to be a local store for stuff like mouses and keyboards, like in this case. You were unnecessarily rude with your comment.

i bought a really simple mouse its by hp , I would advise not to buy a fancy mouse with loads of extra buttons eg a gaming mouse , you will end up clicking those buttons while working. Go with something simple. As for keyboards keep it simple to. a good place in the uk for hardware is overclockers.co.uk , but i would just go on ebay.

My personal recommendation because of tastes/ease of use/price

https://www.amazon.com/Mechanical-keyboard-ergonomic-tenkeyless-Redragon/dp/B01LZN7MLE/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1515968778&sr=8-4&keywords=red+dragon+keyboard

That mouse has a grippy plastic surface that is NOT rubber.  Doesn't pick up body oils well and I still feel friction when using it.  Also macro keys if you want it.

All I can recommend is not getting a Razer mouse. Comfortable, but shoddy internals - the scroll click stopped working on my Deathadder and it's happened to a few people I know with the same mouse.

I'm on a tiny keyboard kick. The 61 key type. I love all of the extra desk space and I barely miss the numpad, arrow keys and giant brick of useless keys.

I use a $5 keyboard that i got from a thrift shop. It's one for old people with big letters.

My mouse is a Logitech G502, which I feel is a good quality and functional product for not very much money. I've had it about a year, works fine, is easy to change the buttons functions with, and has just the right amount of extra buttons for my taste. For maya I have the extra buttons set to undo, redo, F8 (switch between object/compnent), and Alt-tab which lets me swap between programs, though thats not really something for maya. 

In zbrush, i almost exclusively use my wacom tablet, which is the cheapest one they have. Bamboo i think it is called.

I think its totally depends on you. There is no 100% guarantee on any devices so its better to find out which shape of mouse you will like to use, how many dedicated buttons you want on it. For Keyboard think that do you want large size or smaller and also ask yourself on which you will like to type frequently. 

In market there are many brands are available.
If you do not have any choice on brands then check the review of the product which you want buy to get an idea.

Ever since I got the logitech g600 mouse, there's just no going back I'll happily praise the goodness it is to own so many buttons in your right hand - and it's comfortable!

All I know is, a mechanical keyboard is the Jam and a half. I dont think i'll ever got back to a non mechanical keyboard.
