I don't quiet have piano fingers(I'm a bass player, no pick). I have a Razer black widow that's about 12 or so years old, but I hear their quality isn't so great anymore. Maybe something old enough that the caps are on steel posts? That'll probably require a ps2 to usb adapter though, and may not function in bios.

Nope. My Black Widow is still going after 12 years or so. I just wish that it was louder and clankier with more resistance.

I mean.. mouses are kinda a preference item.. personally I use a mouse with a ton of buttons.. if you want to get him one like that Best Buy has a good Corsair one on sale for $50.. there are other options too.. You should ask him what type of mouse he likes. You didn't say how much you want to spend.. I got my brother a Red Dragon set for Christmas like 5 years ago and he was still using it when I went to Thanksgiving at his house last month.. so I can say those are good if you're looking to keep the set around $50 total. If you want to spend more than that I would just look around and look at sales.. Keyboards are pretty straight forward.. make sure it's mechanical or membrane and has good reviews.. I am using a Razer Black Widow keyboard I bought on sale a few years ago and I definitely recommend it.. very nice keyboard. If you don't want to spend that much tho.. you can get the Ornata for way less and it's a nice keyboard as well.
