My favourite keyboard ever is the IBM Model M. Best switches ever.
And because of this thread, I learned they are currently being sold though Unicomp! Now considering buying one.
Mouse: Logitech G9x for feel, but the cable and rubber feet are garbage. Microsoft IntelliMouse (Optical) as a close second.
I don't like mechanical keyboards. I think the Apple Magic keyboard 2 has some of the best chiclet keys ever made. I also really liked the keyboard on the Surface Book 1. As for the mouse I really like the Logitech G Pro. It's precise, lightweight, and the shape is great for fingertip grip.
FYI, IIRC G Pro is currently on sale for $29.99.

I have not the K380, but a K480. Its bluetooth implementation interferes with Wi-Fi at home. Periodically, once every few minutes, the device with which the keyboard is being used experiences a stall in its Wi-Fi connection. While I don't see this behavior in various hotspots around town, I also haven't seen the behavior from other bluetooth gear, including other keyboards. Changing the Wi-Fi channel doesn't fix the…
I have tried the K480 in store. Weirdly enough, it feels very different from the K380. Neither the keys nor the construction are the same. (The Wirecutter makes this observation in their BT keyboard article[1]. I didn't believe them, so I had to check it out for myself. Turns out: true!)

It's heavier, uglier, and the keys on the K380 are so much nicer.

Where?
I do have a Kinesis Advantage (older model) that I've tried over a couple of weekends to get use to, but just found I couldn't adapt. Particularly the different placement of various punctuation keys like curly braces was too much of a hurdle for me when writing code.
