    I've found these work well with Bluetooth mice: https://www.newegg.com/plugable-technologies-usb-bt5/p/1GK-00A3-00004?Item=9SIA2XBJPY8352

    There is a note in the documentation that one should use a USB 2 port
    for these if at all possible. I have been told that they are not
    shielded well enough to live in a USB 3 port.

    I don't know about Amazon, but the one from Technoethical [1] is
    advertised as fully compatible. I didn't try it, but I do use some of
    their other hardware and it works well.
    Their stuff can be expensive, but my experience is that it keeps its
    promises.

    I have one of these:

    Bus 001 Device 025: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth
    Dongle (HCI mode)


    It has "ZEXMTE" printed on the spine, so I think that's the brand name.
    Anyhow it worked great, until suddenly it didn't. Good thing my headset connects via USB. I don't remember changing anything, but I guess I did. Anyhow YMMV.

    I'm currently using this one in Debian 12, KDE Plasma 5. Works great.

    This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

    I am very happy with this one:

    But maybe you get it also somewhere else, too.

    In my experience Bluetooth technology became barely usable with
    version 5.0+ (for many reasons, like stability, effective range, wifi interference, etc),

    I'm not sure whether you meant what you wrote there. In idiomatic
    English, something is becoming barely usable when it's very nearly
    unusable. IOW, it's getting progressively worse.

    so my advice for you to avoid any Bluetooth ver4.0
    and lower devices, both adapters and clients.

    Cheers,
    David.
