Restart the computer on Mac, run the bootcamp assistant again, select only the erase Windows 7 and reestablish hard disk, once finished run bootcamp again (without restarting the computer) and select only install Windows and create partition and automatically run Windows installator and "voilá" the mouse and keyboard work.

Are these wired keyboards/mice or wireless? You must use Boot Camp Support Software 5.1.5640 on the USB Installer as documented in step 11 in Install Windows 7 and earlier on your Mac using Boot Camp - Apple Support .
