If I were to buy an OTG cable for any iOS device, would it allow me to plug in my keyboard and mouse, or do Apple products only work.

I hAve an unfinished pc build. Pls dont bully for not having one yet or i cry.

You can use the Lightning to USB adapter to connect any wired keyboard, but iOS doesn't do mouse input at all.

Huh. I thought I saw a picture a while ago where somebody connected a mouse to an iPhone since they had broken their screen; might have been an Android though.

That was definitely an Android device, since they support mouse input.

In theory, yes. Though that specific adapter seems to have mixed reviews.

Yeah, that seems to be the case. I'd try buying the one you linked, and if it gives you problems, return it to Amazon. The third-party accessory market for Apple devices can be tough.
