cant you use any mouse? or even any keyboard?

You can use any usb keyboard and mouse. Some of the keys might map a little differently (there isn't much call for a windows key in the Mac world) but you'll soon figure it out.

i am using an Apple keyboard and had the mouse to but the mouse did not work for me as it does not have a wheel and someone said the system works differently because i have a normal pc with XP.

Get a normal mouse rather than an apple mouse, there are much better with higher dpi mouses at better prices, higher dpi is necessary if you have a large display.

Same with a keyboard, a normal one will work or you can get a logitech since they support mac very well.

Get the S530 for Mac I use it. (Logitech) Superb peice of hardware

A normal two-button-and-wheel mouse will work just fine, assuming you're using OSX. I'm not sure about OS9, but if I remember correctly my house mate had a normal Microsoft Optical mouse on her PowerMac G4 with OS9.

I used a cheap-o LabTech keyboard from Game with my first Mac. As bwana says, the keyboard mapping takes some getting used to, but it's completely usable. If I remember correctly, the Windows key mapped to the Command key automatically.

I havent tryed a mouse yet... but i have tryed 2 usb keyboards and it doesnt detect ether of them, its ether because its a g3 or because its running OS9.1
