Definitely a gamepad. An xbox 360 controller should be perfect.

Logitech kbd+ mouse combo comes for 700 bucks or so. I say stick to laptop keyboard and get a good gaming mouse like MX518 @ 1.5k. Other than FPS games, best bet it Xbox 360 wired controller for 1.2k.

TVS Gold is a great keyboard, although it is PS/2, not USB. My friends have been using it for 5-9 years, no issues.
