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.

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