Piggybacking on this, I am the aforementioned partner and if anyone's interested these are the mouse and Keyboard I use below. They're far from noiseless, but they're a good in-between.
We tried a bunch of different mice and keyboards, and settled on these (also, we're not in any way sponsored or paid by these companies, we just like these ones), but we'd also love to hear about other good quiet products!
For general use on my main computer I use a wired [MOJO Pro Performance Silent Gaming Mouse - Wired Gaming Mouse] since it's relatively quiet but also has a lot of buttons for gaming. Around the house more generally we use [Emopeak Silent Wireless Mouse, E2Pro-Max Optical Mice] since they are VERY quiet and they're wireless.
For a general use keyboard (I work from home and my job involves a lot of typing) I use a [Corsair Gaming K55 RGB]. I wouldn't say that it's very quiet, but it's less klick-klacky than most typical keyboards, and I think the action still feels good. It's a bit of a compromise between quiet and good to type on for a long time.
Finally, here are some pictures of the wall we built, it's made out of a mattress topper to muffle sound between our workstations in our home office and just sits on a big desk between us. https://imgur.com/a/k0ukwd4
