Keyboard is a total personal preference, much like the mouse. Some take pride in using a $10 mouse or keyboard, others will actually spring for a $50-100 mouse or keyboard if they're really particular.
I like the Logitec G5. Most of their gaming mice are weighted, have good ergonomics, are very precise and have a good "feel" to them. I also like the MS Sidewinder as it fills the hand well, and has good ergonomics despite sporting a pretty chunky looking design.
Most seem to prefer standard keyboards for PC with keys that have good tactile feedback (feels solid when typing). Flat keys generally don't give you that same "clicky" feedback due to the shorter length of key travel, but again it's totally a personal preference.
I actually prefer PC gaming on a dedicated gaming keyboard with a separate left hand key layout specifically for gaming (Ideazon Merc Stealth). A lot of people seem to dismiss gaming keyboards as nothing more than standard keyboards with back lit keys and funky (gaudy) designs, but some actually have game specific layouts. The Merc Stealth has very solid construction, it's heavy, has good tactile feedback and I just prefer playing with its game key layout space. But again, it's a personal preference. I also use a Saitek Eclipse II (also marketed as a "gaming keyboard") with a traditional keyboard layout but prefer the Stealth for gaming.
Paid about $20 for the Saitek II (inventory clearing) and I think about $60-70 for the Stealth.
