. . . were in a portable plastic holder's box, seemed heavy.

KBD seems good, Trackpad has AA corrosion death syndrome. Already used a 1/2" drill bit to remove the core of the first AA. Looked on eBay and there's no point to making any more mess.

Are there even drivers in Linux or Win10 for this stuff to test the KBD or snag a cheap Magic Trackpad to use it?

IIRC, the keyboard and trackpad report as bog standard Bluetooth input devices and are only handled differently on macOS. So if your OS of choice can recognize Bluetooth input devices, they should work. There may be a few mapping oddities (I needed to go in and re-map my Apple keyboard in Linux as the specific model wasn't recognized by my distro).
 
Thanks! Haven't tried it, but will do so. Snagged a nice, dongled wireless Lenovo TrackPad that almost fits the carrier. But not a fan of Bluetooth. I've got other wireless KBDs to pair with it, love the ones with PageNav Key Column above the right arrow of a proper cursor layout.
