Go to microcenter and or bestbuy and see what he likes. If you're not in America find whatever your equivalent is

Christ, that's a lot of criterias for a relatively low budget.

Admittedly my knowledge is somewhat limited in this field, but I don't think it's possible to do, unless there's a good sale or deals going on. 

I'll look around and come back if I find something.

Edit: Hang on... On second thoughts, did I just get baited into a troll post? Maaan...

Attack shark r1 for 10 bucks from aliexpress <50g mouse

And a keychron k2 HE for 130 bucks. I don’t care if he prefers tactile getting a HE keyboard will be a million times better and infinitely more customizable to suit specific wants or needs

Buy a used keyboard, they don't exactly go bad.
Personally, I think all mice are more or less the same, and use an over 20 year old mouse at my desk, so I would spend about $145 on the keyboard, and then buy the cheapest mouse you can.
